HISTORY  OF  THE  YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


YALE  IN  THE  FORESTRY  MOVEMENT 

By  Henry  Solon  Graves 

Director   of   the   Yale   Forest    School,    1900   to    191 1,   now    Chief   of    the 
United  States  Forest  Service 

The  Yale  Forest  School  was  established  when  the  movement 
of  forestry  in  this  country  was  in  its  infancy — at  a  time  when 
the  majority  of  the  people  of  the  country  were  ignorant  of, 
indifferent  to,  or  opposed  to  the  aims  and  methods  of  forestry. 
The  history  of  the  School  has  been  coincident  with  a  most 
remarkable  development  of  forestry  throughout  the  country. 
The  Yale  School  has  a  very  large  share  of  credit  for  this  develop- 
ment; without  Yale  and  the  other  forest  schools  the  results  of 
the  last  decade  could  never  have  been  achieved.  No  country 
has  yet  succeeded  in  establishing  forestry  on  a  permanent  footing 
except  through  well  trained  foresters.  Forestry  had  its  real 
beginning  in  the  United  States  when  there  were  men  to  initiate 
the  work  of  putting  its  principles  into  actual  practice. 

In  the  minds  of  the  founders  of  the  Yale  School  there  was 
not  only  a  recognition  of  the  need  of  trained  men  to  carry  on 
the  work  of  forestry,  but  there  was  also  a  determined  purpose 
to  set  a  high  standard  of  education  that  would  train  its  students 
for  leadership  in  the  development  of  the  science  and  practice 
of  forestry.  No  task  before  the  School  has  been  more  difficult. 
In  the  early  days  the  technical  demands  on  the  forester  were 
small.  Oftentimes  his  first  work  was  purely  administrative,  for 
which  a  very  elementary  knowledge  of  forestry  would  suffice. 
The  demand  for  men  was  at  that  time  so  great  that  a  young  man 
with  but  little  training  could  secure  a  place  with  the  Government 
or  elsewhere.  There  was  therefore  a  tremendous  pressure  for 
a  short-cut  education,  and  to  omit  many  fundamental  features 
of  technical  training  that  did  not  seem  of  immediate  practical 
application.  But  the  School  consistently  maintained  its  high 
technical  requirements,  because  it  was  training  men  to  develop 
forestry  and  not  merely  to  fill  certain  positions  that  might  be 
available. 


YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


The  keynote  of  forestry  is  foresight.  In  the  first  work  of 
organizing  forestry  there  must  be  a  clear  vision  of  future 
development.  Otherwise  no  real  progress  is  possible.  Every 
step  undertaken  in  handling  a  forest  has  an  effect  on  its  future 
condition,  whether  it  involves  the  building  of  trails,  the  location 
of  cuttings,  the  method  of  cuttings,  or  the  organization  of  a 
protective  system.  The  man  who  has  a  proper  training  can 
look  ahead  and  guide  his  work  to  meet  the  requirements  of  a 
real  upbuilding  of  his  forest.  The  man  with  no  such  knowledge 
will  invariably  work  on  a  basis  of  immediate  expediency,  without 
consideration  of  what  is  to  be  the  ultimate  development  of  the 
forest.  Many  do  not  appreciate  the  vital  influence  of  single 
localized  operations  on  the  development  of  the  forest  in  the 
future,  because  mistakes  may  not  be  discovered  or  good  work 
appreciated  for  a  long  time. 

Already  the  need  for  a  high  standard  of  forest  education 
has  been  demonstrated.  I  regard  the  part  Yale  has  been  able 
to  play  in  maintaining  this  standard  as  one  of  its  largest  achieve- 
ments; it  is  the  real  reason  for  the  School's  leadership  in 
forestry  and  the  confidence  it  has  acquired  throughout  the 
country.  The  graduates  of  the  School  have  been  leaders  because 
they  have  had  a  point  of  view  and  knowledge  beyond  that 
needed  for  the  every-day  work  which  they  first  find  to  do. 

In  addition  to  the  educational  foundations  secured  at  the 
School,  the  graduates  have  shown  a  spirit  of  public  service 
and  devotion  to  their  work  that  has  contributed  largely  to  their 
leadership.  The  forestry  movement  will  have  a  very  vital 
influence  on  the  internal  development  and  lasting  prosperity 
of  the  country.  Every  forester  is  working  toward  an  end 
which  will  benefit  the  nation,  whether  he  is  in  public  service 
or  in  the  employ  of  a  lumber  company.  This  body  of  men 
scattered  throughout  all  the  states  constitutes  an  educational 
force  that  is  irresistible. 

Through  the  devoted  work  of  its  Faculty  and  the  enthusiastic 
and  consistent  spirit  of  loyal  service  of  its  graduates,  the  Yale 
Forest  School  has  already  accomplished  results  which  deserve 
high  credit.  Its  work,  however,  is  still  in  its  infancy.  In  per- 
forming its  part  in  developing  public  forest  policies,  both  for 
the  Nation  and  the  states,  in  building  up  the  science  of  forestry, 


YALE  IN  THE  FORESTRY  MOVEMENT  9 

and  getting  its  principles  in  actual  practice,  Yale  has  a  great 
opportunity  and  a  great  responsibility  to  serve  the  country. 
When  we  read  the  history  of  the  School  contained  in  this  volume, 
let  it  be  with  the  feeling  that  it  tells  of  the  foundation  for  a 
work  which  everyone  associated  with  the  School  aims  to  do  for 
the  Nation.  It  is  an  account  of  the  past  to  be  of  help  for  the 
future. 


THE  YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 
AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 

By  James  William  Toumey 

Director  of  the  Yale  Forest  School,  and  a  professor  in  the  School  since 
its  foundation 

The  first  great  step  in  forest  conservation  in  the  United 
States  was  taken  in  1891  when,  through  the  action  of  Congress, 
the  President  was  given  authority  to  set  aside  forest  reserva- 
tions. Previous  to  this  time  forestry  in  the  United  States 
was  chiefly  propaganda.  There  were  less  than  a  half  dozen 
trained  foresters  in  the  entire  country.  It  was  soon  found 
necessary,  however,  to  appoint  supervisors,  forest  rangers,  and 
other  forest  officers  to  take  charge  of  the  newly  created  reser- 
vations. The  work  was  organized  with  men  having  little  or 
no  knowledge  of  technical  forestry.  Even  before  the  creation 
of  the  National  forests  some  of  the  states  had  begun  to  develop 
a  progressive  forest  policy  and  to  acquire  land  for  state  forests. 
The  beginnings  were  also  made  in  forestry  on  privately  owned 
timber  land.  At  the  beginning  of  the  present  century  not  only 
the  National  government  but  many  of  the  states  and,  to  some 
extent,  private  owners  of  large  forest  properties  were  seeking 
trained  foresters. 

As  early  as  1887  a  course  of  lectures  on  technical  forestry  was 
given  by  Bernhard  E.  Fernow  at  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural 
College.  This  was  the  first  instruction  in  forestry  given  by  a 
trained  forester  at  an  educational  institution  in  the  United 
States.  Prior  to  this  date  some  of  the  agricultural  colleges 
sustained  chairs  of  botany  and  forestry  combined.  In  no  instance, 
however,  were  the  men  who  occupied  them  trained  foresters, 
nor  did  they  teach  technical  forestry. 

In  1898  Dr.  Fernow  resigned  his  position  as  chief  of  the 
Division  of  Forestry  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Agri- 
culture and  organized  and  became  director  of  the  New  York 
State  College  of  Forestry  at  Cornell  University.  This  was  the 
first  school  of  technical  forestry  in  the  United  States.     About 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


the  same  time  a  small  private  school  was  established  by  Carl 
A.  Schenck  at  Biltmore,  N.  C.  The  former  school  was  aban- 
doned after  three  years  of  successful  work  through  the  lack  of 
state  support;   the  latter  is  still  in  existence. 

The  great  impetus  given  to  American  forestry  through  the 
creation  of  the  National  forests,  the  activities  of  the  separate 
states  in  furthering  a  progressive  forest  policy,  and  the  rapid 
expanse  of  the  work  of  the  Division  of  Forestry  under  the  new 
chief,  Gifford  Pinchot,  created  a  demand  almost  over  night 
for  a  large  number  of  technically  trained  men.  Mr.  Pinchot 
had  been  trained  in  the  forest  schools  of  Europe  and  became 
the  leading  figure  in  American  forestry.  He  soon  realized  that 
his  vision  of  forest  conservation  could  not  be  attained  without 
an  able  corps  of  men  thoroughly  trained  in  technical  forestry 
and  familiar  with  American  life  and  institutions.  The  two 
schools,  at  Cornell  and  Biltmore,  with  uncertain  tenure  of  life, 
could  not  be  depended  upon  to  supply  the  large  numbers  of 
men  immediately  required  and  the  continually  increasing  number 
that  would  probably  be  necessary  for  some  years  to  come. 

Early  in  the  spring  of  1900  it  was  announced  by  the  President 
of  Yale  University  that  a  gift  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand 
dollars  had  been  received  to  endow  a  graduate  school  of  forestry. 
Two  ideas  of  fundamental  importance  stand  forth  in  this 
announcement ;  namely,  an  endowed  institution  and  a  graduate 
school.  For  the  first  time  in  America  the  new  profession  of 
forestry  was  placed  upon  a  high  plane  requiring  the  best  type 
of  scholarship  and  a  thorough  scientific  foundation.  The  fact 
of  an  endowed  institution  assured  permanency  and  the  possibility 
of  substantial  and  gradual  development. 

The  gift  under  which  the  School  was  founded  was  from  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  James  W.  Pinchot  and  their  sons,  Gifford  Pinchot  and 
Amos  R.  E.  Pinchot.  It  provided  for  a  department  in  the  Uni- 
versity to  be  known  as  the  Yale  Forest  School  and  a  summer 
school  of  forestry  at  Milford,  Pike  County,  Pa.  The  object 
of  the  School,  as  expressed  in  the  terms  of  the  gift,  is  both 
instruction  and  research  in  forestry.  The  University  in  accept- 
ing the  gift  agreed  to  provide  the  necessary  buildings  to  house 
the  School  until  the  new  institution  was  in  a  financial  position 
to  erect  buildings  for  its  special  use. 


YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


Early  in  the  summer  of  1900  Henry  Solon  Graves,  of  the 
Division  of  Forestry,  was  appointed  director  of  the  new  School, 
and  the  following  Board  of  Governors  organized  the  instruction 
and  administration : 

Arthur  T.   Hadley,  LL.D.,  president. 
Henry  S.   Graves,  M.A.,  professor  of   forestry. 
William  H.  Brewer,  Ph.D.,  professor  of  agriculture. 
Gifford  Pinchot,  B.A.,  special  lecturer  on  forest  policy. 

The  School  was  fortunate  in  securing  Mr.  Graves  as  its  first 
director,  and  its  success  is  largely  due  to  his  foresight  and 
counsels  and  to  his  high  ideals  of  education  in  this  comparatively 
new  field. 

Following  the  announcement  of  the  School  a  circular  was 
issued  outlining  the  plan  and  the  proposed  courses  of  study.  In 
June  James  W.  Toumey,  of  the  Division  of  Forestry,  was 
appointed  assistant  professor  of  forestry. 

In  the  organization  of  the  School  it  was  realized  that  from  the 
standpoint  of  technical  training  two  classes  of  men  were  required 
to  successfully  carry  on  the  work  in  forestry  in  the  United 
States.  First,  men  trained  in  the  broad  field  of  technical  forestry, 
competent  to  organize  and  administer  forest  property  and  con- 
duct scientific  investigations.  Second,  men  especially  skilled  in 
the  conduct  of  woods  work  and  fitted  for  rangers,  inspectors 
and  foremen.  In  order  to  prepare  men  for  the  former,  the 
Forest  School  was  made  a  graduate  department  of  the  Univer- 
sity. A  summer  school  was  maintained  for  several  years  at 
Milford.  Entrance  examinations  were  not  required  and  certifi- 
cates of  attendance  were  issued  at  the  expiration  of  the  eight 
weeks'  course.  Because  of  the  opportunity  that  it  would  give 
school  teachers  to  become  familiar  with  the  methods  of  field 
work,  particularly  in  silviculture  and  dendrology,  the  course  was 
at  first  opened  to  women. 

The  Faculty  included  but  one  professor  of  forestry  and  one 
assistant  professor.  The  remainder  of  the  teaching  staflf  was 
from  the  other  departments  of  the  University.  Their  work  was 
supplemented  by  courses  of  special  lectures  by  Giflord  Pinchot 
and  Frederick  H.  Newell. 

A  two-year  course  of  study  was  prescribed,  the  terms  coin- 
ciding with  those  of  the  other  departments  of  the  University. 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH  13 

Entrance  requirements  were  much  more  liberal  than  at  present. 
Graduates  of  universities,  colleges  and  scientific  schools  of  high 
standing  were  accepted  without  examination,  provided  they  could 
show  requisite  knowledge  of  botany,  geology  and  chemistry. 
Others  were  required  to  pass  examinations  in  mathematics, 
botany,  geology,  chemistry,  physics,  German  or  French,  English 
and  political  economy.  Special  students  were  admitted  without 
examination  when  they  were  able  to  present  other  evidence  of 
their  fitness  to  pursue  the  courses  given.  The  tuition  charges 
were  one  hundred  dollars  per  year. 

Looking  back  from  a  perspective  of  thirteen  years  the  curricu- 
lum is  simple  in  the  extreme,  and  may  be  characterized  by  the 
emphasis  placed  upon  courses  in  botany,  geology  and  zoology, 
and  the  comparatively  limited  work  in  technical  forestry.  The 
forestry  subjects  in  the  curriculum  were  as  follows:  outline 
of  forestry,  silviculture,  forest  management,  forest  measure- 
ments, forest  technology,  lumbering,  forest  protection,  forest 
history,  forest  administration  and  state  and  National  forestry. 
With  the  exception  of  one  short  course  of  six  lectures  given 
by  Gifford  Pinchot  the  entire  field  was  covered  by  the  director 
and  the  assistant  professor. 

Provision  was  made  for  field  work  at  New  Haven,  Milford 
and  in  the  Adirondack  Mountains.  In  the  first  announcement 
of  the  courses,  field  work  was  only  briefly  mentioned  as  follows : 
"Frequent  excursions  will  be  taken  to  points  of  interest  near 
New  Haven.  In  the  spring  of  the  second  year  the  work  will  be 
transferred  from  New  Haven  to  the  field,  the  first  few  weeks 
being  spent  in  Pennsylvania  and  the  remaining  time  in  the 
Adirondacks." 

1900-1901 
The  first  term  of  the  regular  course  began  on  Thursday, 
September  27,  1900.  Seven  students  were  enrolled  and  remained 
to  complete  the  two  years'  course,  and  in  addition  thirteen 
Academic  and  two  Sheffield  students  attended  one  or  more 
courses.  The  director  and  four  of  the  regular  students  lived 
in  Marsh  Hall,  which  was  provided  by  the  University  for  the 
use  of  the  School.  In  November,  1900,  the  first  annual  catalogue 
of  the  School  was  published,  and  included  practically  the  same 


14 YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

subject  matter  as  the  preliminary  announcement.  There  was  a 
more  detailed  account  of  the  field  work,  and  a  list  of  the  seven 
students  in  attendance. 

During  the  year  the  School  received  in  gifts  to  its  equipment 
a  splendid  collection  of  axes  and  a  large  number  of  wood-work- 
ing tools  from  W.  D.  Simmons  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  and  a  valuable 
collection  of  saws  from  H.  C.  Atkins  of  Indianapolis,  Ind.  Mr. 
Tourney  gave  his  herbarium  containing  two  thousand  five 
hundred  species  of  indigenous  trees  and  shrubs  to  the  School. 
The  library  was  enlarged  through  the  gift  of  three  hundred 
and  twenty-five  volumes  from  Gifford  Pinchot. 

1901-1902 

Early  in  1901  an  illustrated  circular  announcing  the  Yale 
Summer  School  of  Forestry  was  published.  The  course  as 
planned,  and  later  carried  out,  covered  a  period  of  eight  weeks 
beginning  July  8,  1901.  No  entrance  examinations  were 
required,  but  no  one  under  seventeen  years  of  age  was  admitted. 
The  teaching  staff  consisted  of  the  director  and  the  assistant 
professor.  The  following  courses  were  offered:  introduction  to 
forestry,  silviculture,  forest  botany,  forest  measurements  and 
forest  protection.  Twenty-seven  students  were  enrolled,  seven 
of  whom  were  women.  The  latter  had  all  the  privileges  of  the 
School  with  the  exception  of  living  and  boarding  in  camp. 

At  the  opening  of  the  regular  course  in  1901  the  previous 
year's  class  of  seven  members  was  augmented  by  three  men 
from  the  Division  of  Forestry.  The  Junior  class  had  a  member- 
ship of  twenty-one.  The  School  was  now  for  the  first  time  in 
full  operation,  and  the  Faculty  was  called  upon  to  give  instruc- 
tion in  all  the  courses  offered  in  the  curriculum.  In  many 
respects,  from  the  standpoint  of  instruction,  it  was  the  most 
critical  period  in  the  history  of  the  School.  With  more  than 
four  times  as  many  students  as  the  previous  year,  and  with  the 
technical  courses  of  the  Senior  year  given  for  the  first  time, 
the  burden  of  instruction  was  very  great.  The  following  courses 
were  added :  forest  entomology,  forest  administration  and  law, 
and  forest  administration  abroad. 

During  the  second  year  the  field  work  was  more  fully  organ- 
ized.    A  year  before  an  agreement  was  made  by  the   School 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 15 

and  the  New  Haven  Water  Company  whereby  a  portion  of 
the  forest  property  of  the  company  was  placed  under  the  man- 
agement of  the  School,  thus  making  a  large  body  of  woodland 
near  New  Haven  available  for  purposes  of  instruction  and 
experiment.  The  field  work  in  silviculture  was  chiefly  confined 
to  this  tract.  Arrangements  were  made  for  the  Seniors  to  spend 
the  last  three  weeks  of  the  autumn  term  in  lumber  camps  in 
northern  New  England. 

After  the  Easter  recess  the  work  with  the  Senior  class  was 
transferred  to  Central  Valley,  N.  Y.,  ^yhere  the  entire  spring 
term  was  devoted  to  field  work.  A  working  plan  was  prepared 
for  a  forest  of  15,000  acres  owned  by  E.  H.  Harriman  of  New 
York. 

On  the  completion  of  their  work,  for  the  college  year  ending 
June,  1902,  the  degree  Master  of  Forestry  was  conferred  upon 
eight  members  of  the  Senior  class,  and  the  first  graduates  of 
the  School  were  ready  to  begin  their  professional  careers  in  a 
field  just  beginning  to  develop  rapidly  in  the  United  States. 
Soon  after  graduating,  two  members  of  the  class,  namely,  Roy 
L.  Marston  and  Alfred  Akerman,  were  engaged  as  instructors. 

I 902- I 903 

The  second  session  of  the  summer  school  was  under  Mr. 
Tourney,  who  was  assisted  by  Walter  Mulford,  State  Forester 
of  Connecticut.  Nineteen  students  were  in  attendance,  of  whom 
six  were  women.  A  large  percentage  of  the  male  students  were 
undergraduates  from  Eastern  universities  and  colleges,  nine 
of  whom  later  entered  the  School  for  the  regular  two-year 
course. 

The  curriculum  was  greatly  extended  and  the  courses  re- 
arranged during  the  third  year.  In  September,  1902,  Alfred 
Akerman  and  Roy  L.  Marston  began  their  work  as  instructors. 
The  position  of  assistant  in  botany,  occupied  the  previous  year 
by  C.  E.  Preston,  was  filled  by  Arthur  H.  Graves.  Howard  S. 
Betts  was  appointed  assistant  in  the  wood  testing  laboratory, 
and  Herman  von  Schrenk  lecturer  on  diseases  of  trees  to  take 
the  position  formerly  occupied  by  William  C.  Sturgis. 

At  the  opening  of  the  term  twenty-six  men  enrolled  in  the 
entering  class.    Heretofore  the  students  had  been  largely  drawn 


i6 YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

from  the  Eastern  states.  In  this  class,  however,  all  parts  of 
the  United  States  were  represented,  and  one  student  came  from 
Japan.  The  National  character  of  the  School  for  the  first  time 
became  apparent  in  its  student  body.  The  course  formerly  given 
by  Mr.  Verrill  was  given  by  Mr.  Britton,  State  Entomologist 
of  Connecticut.  The  courses  in  introduction  to  forestry  and 
history  of  forestry  were  taken  by  Mr.  Akerman,  who  also 
assisted  Director  Graves  in  the  work  in  silviculture.  The  courses 
in  lumbering  and  forest  protection  were  taken  by  Mr.  Marston, 
who  also  assisted  Director  Graves  in  forest  management.  The 
work  in  engineering  was  extended.  Field  surveying  was  given 
by  Mr.  Tracy,  and  a  new  course  in  forest  engineering  was 
under  Mr.  Marston.  Through  the  generosity  of  George  H. 
Myers,  M.F.  '02,  three  thousand  dollars  was  received  to  pay 
for  the  equipment  of  a  laboratory  in  forest  technology,  and 
instruction  in  timber  testing  was  given  by  Mr.  Betts.  Through 
cooperation  with  the  Division  of  Forestry  the  laboratory  was 
opened  for  investigation  on  the  mechanical  properties  of  wood. 

In  the  early  winter  (December,  1902)  the  members  of  the 
Senior  class  were  located  in  lumber  camps  in  Maine,  New 
Hampshire,  New  York,  Michigan,  Pennsylvania,  North  Carolina, 
Florida  and  Texas.  Each  student  prepared  a  detailed  report 
on  lumbering  in  the  region  studied.  The  spring  field  work 
with  the  Senior  class  was  at  West  Point  Military  Reservation, 
where  a  study  was  made  of  a  large  hardwood  tract  east  of  the 
Hudson  River.  The  area  was  mapped  and  a  working  plan  made 
under  which  it  has  since  been  managed. 

There  was  a  large  increase  in  attendance,  the  registration  in 
the  regular  course  being  forty-four  students  compared  with 
thirty-three  the  previous  year.  They  represented  twenty-three 
collegiate  institutions  in  fifteen  states. 

The  endowment  of  the  School  was  increased  through  the  gift 
of  fifty  thousand  dollars  by  Mrs.  J.  W.  Pinchot  and  Gilford 
Pinchot.  This  gift  enabled  the  Governing  Board  very  materially 
to  modify  the  courses  of  study,  add  a  summer  term  to  the  regular 
course,  and  greatly  increase  the  field  work.  The  principal  addi- 
tions to  the  equipment  of  the  School  were  through  the  purchase 
of  a  portion  of  the  technical  library  of  the  late  Charles  Mohr. 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


1903-1904 

The  third  session  of  the  summer  school,  which  opened  on  July 
I,  1903,  was  reduced  to  seven  weeks.  Mr.  Marston  was  in 
charge.  The  curriculum  remained  unchanged  with  the  exception 
of  greater  diversity  in  the  work,  due  to  the  larger  number  of 
special  lectures.  Fifteen  students  were  in  attendance,  none  of 
whom  were  women.  Of  those  in  attendance  seven  later  entered 
the  regular  course.  Mr.  Akerman  resigned  at  the  close  of  the 
collegiate  year  in  June  and  accepted  the  position  of  State  Forester 
of  Massachusetts. 

The  registration  in  the  regular  course  was  sixty-six,  repre- 
senting thirty-three  collegiate  institutions  in  twenty-three  states. 
There  was  one  student  each  from  the  Philippine  Islands  and 
Sweden.  The  large  increase  in  students  in  the  Senior  class  was 
partly  due  to  the  discontinuance  of  the  College  of  Forestry 
at  Cornell  University.  Special  arrangements  were  made  whereby 
students  from  that  institution  were  admitted  to  the  Yale  Forest 
School,  and  ten  men  availed  themselves  of  this  arrangement. 

Although  no  additions  were  made  to  the  list  of  regular 
instructors,  it  became  necessary  to  employ  a  number  of  tempo- 
rary assistants  because  of  the  unexpectedly  large  number  of 
students.  Walter  Mulford  was  employed  to  assist  in  the  courses 
in  silviculture  and  forest  mensuration,  and  Austin  Cary  in  the 
field  work  of  the  Senior  class  at  Milford.  Harry  Tiemann, 
M.F.  '03,  was  appointed  engineer  in  the  technological  laboratory 
in  the  place  of  H.  S.  Betts,  and  continued  in  this  position  until 
1909,  when  work  in  cooperation  with  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment was  discontinued. 

In  late  December  a  disastrous  fire  broke  out  in  Marsh  Hall. 
It  started  in  the  basement  and  burned  or  severely  injured  the 
testing  laboratory,  the  assembly  hall,  two  recitation  rooms  and 
the  instrument  room.  The  School  records,  the  library  and 
herbarium  were  saved.  For  two  weeks  at  the  beginning  of  the 
winter  term  recitations  and  lectures  were  held  at  the  Sheffield 
Scientific  School.  The  restored  building  was  in  many  respects 
better  adapted  to  the  requirements  of  the  School  than  before 
the  fire.  The  equipment  at  the  summer  school  was  greatly 
improved  by  the  construction  of  three  buildings  which  were  the 
gift  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  W.  Pinchot.     Through  the  further 


YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


generosity  of  George  H.  Myers  the  forest  library  of  the  late 
Dr.  Robert  Hartig  was  purchased  and  donated  to  the  School. 
This  collection  contained  fifteen  hundred  books  and  pamphlets 
representing  the  accumulation  of  many  years.  It  is  particularly 
rich  in  German  periodicals  and  early  books  and  pamphlets  on 
forestry,  many  of  which  are  long  out  of  print  and  difficult  to 
obtain. 

For  the  first  time  the  spring  field  work  of  the  regular  course 
was  conducted  at  Milford,  with  Mr.  Marston  and  Austin  Gary, 
instructors.  It  later  became  apparent  that  it  would  be  necessary 
to  rearrange  the  curriculum  and  increase  the  amount  of  field 
work  in  order  to  realize  more  fully  the  object  of  instruction. 
During  the  winter  an  announcement  was  published  of  proposed 
changes  in  the  curriculum.  Experience  had  shown  that  the 
courses  in  forest  mensuration  and  silviculture  could  not  be 
satisfactorily  taught  without  more  field  work.  It  became  neces- 
sary to  add  to  the  Junior  year  a  term  wholly  devoted  to  field 
work.  Accordingly,  the  Junior  year  in  1904  opened  at  Milford 
at  the  same  time  as  the  summer  school. 

Heretofore  the  tuition  for  the  Junior  and  Senior  years  was 
one  hundred  dollars  each.  Beginning  in  July,  1904,  it  was  raised 
to  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  for  the  Junior  year,  and  a  year 
later  to  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  dollars  for  the  Senior  year. 
To  the  present  no  further  changes  in  tuition  charges  have  been 
made. 

Thereafter  the  Junior  class  met  at  the  School  camp  at  Milford 
with  the  summer  school  students.  The  field  and  classroom  work 
of  the  two  classes,  however,  were  wholly  distinct  and  usually 
under  separate  instructors.  The  session  of  the  summer  school 
was  seven  weeks  as  in  the  previous  year,  but  the  regular  term 
continued  three  weeks  longer.  Two  distinct  bodies  of  students 
tented  in  the  same  encampment  and  dined  together,  but  the 
character  of  the  instruction  was  necessarily  wholly  different. 

1904-1905 
Under  this  new  arrangement  the  Junior  courses  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1904  were  given  by  Director  Graves,  assisted  by  E.  E. 
Carter,  M.F.  '04.     Mr.  Toumey  was  assisted  by  A.  H.  Graves 
in  carrying  the  work  of  the  summer  school.     The  work  with 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 19 

the  Juniors  was  confined  to  the  following  courses :  foundation 
of  silviculture,  treatment  of  woodlands  and  forest  mensuration. 
Thirty-four  men  were  enrolled  in  the  Junior  class  and  eighteen 
in  the  summer  school. 

The  experiment  of  shifting  a  large  part  of  the  field  work 
to  an  extra  summer  term  proved  successful.  At  the  opening 
of  the  autumn  term  at  New  Haven  the  total  attendance  was 
sixty-three  exclusive  of  those  from  other  departments. 

The  next  year  surveying  was  transferred  to  the  summer  term. 
On  January  2,  1905,  both  the  Junior  and  Senior  classes  met  in 
Washington,  D.  C,  to  attend  the  Forest  Congress.  For  one 
week  the  students  attended  the  sessions  of  the  Congress  and  the 
following  week  a  series  of  specially  arranged  addresses  and 
lectures  to  which  students  from  other  schools  were  also  invited. 

The  Forest  Club,  composed  of  Faculty  and  students,  was 
organized  and  has  continued  to  meet  on  alternate  Wednesday 
evenings  except  in  the  summer  term.  During  the  early  winter 
a  group  of  Seniors  with  a  smaller  number  of  Juniors  met  and 
organized  the  Robin  Hood  Society  of  Foresters.  After  an 
existence  of  six  years  the  organization  was  discontinued.  The 
accumulated  funds  in  the  treasury  of  the  society  to  the  extent 
of  more  than  five  hundred  dollars  were  contributed  to  the 
Graduates  Fund  of  the  School. 

Shortly  after  the  opening  of  the  winter  term  Director  Graves 
was  commissioned  by  the  Forest  Service  to  visit  India  and  the 
Philippine  Islands  to  secure  information  relative  to  educational 
instruction  in  forestry  that  would  best  fit  students  for  the  prac- 
tice of  forestry  in  tropical  regions  and  particularly  in  the  Philip- 
pine Islands.  During  the  six  months  of  Director  Graves'  absence 
Mr.  Toumey  was  acting  director,  and  B.  E.  Fernow,  the  former 
director  of  the  New  York  State  College  of  Forestry,  conducted 
some  of  the  courses.  A.  F.  Hawes,  M.F.  '03,  State  Forester  of 
Connecticut,  also  assisted  in  instruction. 

As  in  the  previous  year,  after  the  Easter  recess,  the  work 
with  the  Senior  class  was  transferred  to  the  School  camp  at 
Milford.  It  became  apparent,  however,  that  it  was  unwise  to 
continue  the  spring  field  work  at  this  place  since  the  men  were 
already  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  region.  It  seemed  desir- 
able that  a  wholly  new  field  be  selected  for  the  spring  work 


YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


where  lumbering  operations  were  in  progress  and  where  condi- 
tions were  better  suited  for  the  preparation  of  forest  maps, 
the  projection  of  logging  roads,  the  estimating  of  timber  and 
the  making  of  working  plans.  Since  the  spring  of  1905  it  has 
been  conducted  on  large  tracts  of  virgin  timber  in  the  South. 

The  most  important  addition  to  the  collections  of  the  School 
during  the  year  was  a  large  assortment  of  forest  products  from 
the  St.  Louis  Exposition.  A  former  collection  of  exotic  woods 
from  the  Buffalo  Exposition  had  been  severely  damaged  the 
year  before  in  the  fire  at  the  School.  The  material  from  St. 
Louis  and  much  besides  is  stored  because  of  lack  of  space  for 
display.  As  soon  as  a  School  building  is  erected  this  material 
can  be  arranged  and  made  available  for  exhibition  and  purposes 
of  instruction. 

As  in  former  years  the  majority  of  the  twenty-nine  members 
of  the  graduating  class  entered  the  Forest  Service.  The  rapid 
expansion  of  the  work  of  the  Government  under  the  direction 
of  Gifford  Pinchot  gave  opportunity  for  all  who  desired  to  begin 
the  practice  of  their  profession  on  the  National  Forests,  which 
had  been  only  recently  transferred  from  the  Department  of  the 
Interior  to  the  Department  of  Agriculture  and  placed  directly 
under  the  management  of  the  Forest  Service. 

I 905- I 906 
The  year  beginning  July,  1905,  was  the  most  satisfactory 
from  the  standpoint  of  the  curriculum  since  the  organization 
of  the  School.  The  instruction  was  made  more  efficient  and 
foundations  were  laid  for  still  further  improvements  the  fol- 
lowing year.  The  important  change  in  the  engineering  courses 
became  effective  at  the  opening  of  the  summer  term.  The 
course  was  conducted  by  J.  C.  Tracy,  assisted  by  C.  S.  Farnham 
and  W.  L.  Ulrich.  For  the  first  time  a  course  in  field  dendrol- 
ogy was  included  in  the  summer  work.  Since  1905  there  have 
been  no  marked  changes  in  the  courses  as  given  at  Milford. 
Only  three  courses  are  offered;  namely,  surveying,  forest 
mensuration  and  field  dendrology.  Among  the  thirty-six  men 
enrolled  in  the  regular  course  were  students  from  Canada, 
Norway,  Sandwich  Islands  and  South  Africa.  Eighteen  attended 
the  summer  school,  five  of  whom  later  entered  the  regular  course. 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


Herman  H.  Chapman,  M.F.  '04,  of  the  Forest  Service,  was 
employed  as  assistant  during  the  winter  and  spring  terms.  A 
course  in  State  Forest  law  was  given  during  the  winter  by  Mr. 
Chapman.  In  April  Mr.  Marston  resigned  to  enter  the  lumber 
business  in  Maine,  and  the  field  work  in  lumbering  as  formerly 
conducted  by  locating  the  students  in  lumber  camps  for  a  period 
of  three  weeks  after  the  Thanksgiving  recess  was  abandoned. 
The  Senior  field  work  of  the  spring  term  was  conducted  at 
Waterville,  N.  H.,  on  a  tract  of  22,000  acres  owned  by  the 
International  Paper  Company.  The  topographic  work  was  under 
the  direction  of  Henry  Gannett,  geographer  of  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey.  The  forest  work  was  conducted  by  Mr. 
Chapman. 

The  field  work  in  silviculture  was  better  organized,  the  autumn 
term  being  devoted  to  silvical  excursions  and  investigations  in 
the  woods  about  New  Haven  and  the  remainder  of  the  year  to 
thinnings,  improvement  cuttings,  nursery  work,  seeding  and 
planting. 

The  importance  of  lumbering  as  a  part  of  the  curriculum 
was  recognized  by  the  National  Lumber  Manufacturers'  Asso- 
ciation at  their  annual  meeting  in  1905,  and  they  voted  to 
raise  a  fund  to  endow  a  chair  of  lumbering.  Sixty  thousand 
dollars  was  immediately  pledged,  and  in  the  autumn  turned 
over  to  the  treasurer  of  the  University,  and  in  1910  an  additional 
forty  thousand  dollars  was  received.  This  fund  has  been  of 
great  value  to  the  School  as  it  made  possible  the  appointment 
of  R.  C.  Bryant  of  the  Forest  Service  to  take  charge  of  the 
work  in  lumbering.  Mr.  Bryant  began  his  work  in  September, 
1906. 

During  the  year  an  Advisory  Board  was  appointed  from  the 
graduates  and  proved  very  important  in  furthering  the  interests 
of  the  School  and  bringing  the  alumni  into  closer  touch  with 
its  activities.  The  members  of  the  first  Advisory  Board  were 
G.  H.  Myers,  M.F.  '02,  J.  G.  Peters,  M.F.  '03,  and  W.  B. 
Greeley,  M.F.  '04. 

I 906-1 907 
The  year  1906  marked  a  long  step  forward  in  improving  the 
curriculum.     This  was  made  possible  through   the   addition   to 


YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


the  Faculty  of  three  instructors  in  forestry,  namely  Messrs. 
Chapman,  Bryant  and  Hawley,  each  of  whom  was  given  a 
definite  line  of  work  which  they  have  been  pursuing  and 
strengthening  up  to  the  present  time.  This  marks  a  definite 
stage  in  the  development  of  the  curriculum  because  it  is  the 
beginning  of  the  separation  of  the  work  into  specific  courses 
continuously  handled  by  the  same  instructors.  It  gave  an  oppor- 
tunity for  the  courses  to  develop  and  expand  with  succeeding 
years.  Hitherto  the  lack  of  funds  and  available  instructors  of 
experience  prevented  the  development  of  a  Faculty  adequate 
for  the  constantly  increasing  work  of  the  School.  The  wo^ 
of  instruction  as  then  organized  was  conducted  by  three  groups 
of  men:  first,  the  regular  Faculty,  consisting  of  five  resident 
members  whose  time  was  wholly  given  to  the  School  and  who 
conducted  the  technical  courses  in  forestry;  second,  members 
of  other  departments  of  the  University  who  gave  specially 
arranged  courses  in  auxiliary  subjects;  third,  non-resident, 
special  lecturers. 

An  important  feature  of  the  year  was  the  development  of  the 
course  in  lumbering  under  Mr.  Bryant.  The  work  was  organ- 
ized with  the  advice  of  a  committee  from  the  National  Lumber 
Manufacturers'  Association.  This  advisory  committee  consisted 
of  Nelson  W.  McLeod  and  Clifford  L  Millard  of  St.  Louis  and 
Frederick  E.  Weyerhaeuser  of  St.  Paul.  The  lectures  in  this 
subject  were  given  by  Mr.  Bryant  assisted  by  the  members  of 
the  committee  as  special  lecturers.  Through  the  generosity  of 
J.  B.  White  the  plant  of  the  Missouri  Lumber  &  Mining  Com- 
pany in  southern  Missouri  was  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the 
School  for  the  spring  work  of  the  Senior  class.  The  work  in 
the  woods  was  conducted  by  Mr.  Chapman,  who  was  assisted 
in  the  topographic  work  by  Henry  Gannett  of  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey.  Mr.  Bryant  had  charge  of  the  work  relating 
directly  to  lumbering.  This  proved  so  successful  that  the  field 
work  of  the  Senior  class  has  since  followed  the  same  general 
plan. 

I 907- I 908 

The  increased  demand  for  foresters  by  the  National  govern- 
ment, by  states,  and  by  private  owners  of  woodland,  resulted 
in  the  rapid  development  of  facilities  for  instruction.     As  early 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 23 

as  1907  seventeen  institutions  in  the  United  States  and  Canada 
were  offering  instruction  in  forestry  and  five  institutions  had 
fully  organized  departments  or  schools  for  high-grade  training. 
The  standard  required  for  the  profession  of  forestry  was  becom- 
ing higher  each  year  and  already  many  of  the  graduates  of 
minor  schools  found  it  difficult  to  find  remunerative  positions. 

Six  classes  had  now  graduated  with  a  total  enrollment  of 
127.  This  does  not  include  37  men  who  did  not  take  the  full 
course.  The  occupations  of  the  127  graduates  of  the  first  six 
classes,  in  July,  1907,  is  shown  in  the  following  table :

Hitherto  there  had  been  but  one  program  of  study  prescribed 
for  all  students.  All  subjects  in  the  regular  course  were  required 
for  the  degree.  A  greater  number  of  students  were  each  year 
applying  for  admittance  with  advanced  standing,  having  already 
had  courses  in  technical  forestry  in  other  institutions.  To  supply 
this  demand  a  number  of  advanced  courses  in  forest  technology, 
silviculture,  lumbering  and  forest  management  were  offered  for 
the  first  time. 

The  spring  work  of  the  Senior  class  was  conducted  in  Ala- 
bama on  a  tract  of  virgin  forest  owned  by  the  Kaul  Lumber 
Company.  Hitherto  nearly  all  the  field  work  at  New  Haven 
was  at  Maltby  Park,  a  comparatively  small  portion  of  the  lands 
owned  by  the  New  Haven  Water  Company.  During  this  year 
Mr.  Hawley  was  employed  as  consulting  forester  for  the  com- 
pany. Under  this  arrangement  the  School  obtained  the  privilege 
of  conducting  field  work  on  all  the  lands  owned  by  the  company, 
aggregating  eight  thousand  acres,  of  which  more  than  one-half 
is  covered  with  forest,  under  an  organized  system  of  manage- 
ment. The  open  land  is  gradually  being  planted.  This  large 
tract  of  permanent  forest  near  New  Haven  and  within  easy 


24 YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

reach  of  the  School  is  yearly  becoming  of  greater  importance 
for  purposes  of  instruction. 

With  the  decrease  in  the  number  of  special  lectures  in  the 
regular  course,  the  Forest  Club  has  been  the  avenue  through 
which  foresters  and  other  scientific  men  visiting  New  Haven 
have  been  introduced  to  the  School. 

At  the  close  of  the  work  of  the  Senior  class  at  New  Haven 
in  February,  1908,  formal  exercises  were  held  for  the  first  time. 
The  principal  address  was  by  Gifford  Pinchot.  Other  speakers 
were  President  Hadley,  the  Director  of  the  School,  W.  B. 
Greeley  and  H.  R.  MacMillan,  the  latter  representing  the  grad- 
uating class.  These  exercises  continue  to  be  held  each  year  at 
New  Haven  before  the  Senior  class  leaves  for  the  South. 

I 908- I 909 

In  1908  R.  C.  Bryant  and  R.  C.  Hawley  were  promoted  to 
the  rank  of  assistant  professors.  It  was  becoming  more  and 
more  apparent,  in  order  to  meet  the  needs  of  technical  instruc- 
tion, that  it  would  be  necessary  to  lengthen  the  course  to  three 
years  or  else  increase  the  requirements  for  admission.  The 
latter  course  was  followed.  Early  in  the  year  a  circular  was 
issued  announcing  that  candidates  for  admission  for  the  degree 
Master  of  Forestry,  in  addition  to  completing  an  undergraduate 
college  course,  must  have  pursued  certain  specified  subjects. 
The  new  requirements  did  not  go  into  effect  for  two  years  in 
order  that  undergraduates  then  preparing  for  the  School  could 
arrange  to  cover  the  required  work.  Arrangements  had  been 
made  with  the  Shefiield  Scientific  School  whereby  students  in 
that  institution,  by  taking  certain  studies  in  the  Forest  School 
during  the  last  year  of  their  undergraduate  course,  could  com- 
plete the  work  at  the  Forest  School  in  one  year.  With  the  grad- 
ual extension  of  the  curriculum  and  the  increase  in  the  number 
of  required  subjects,  this  arrangement  became  more  and  more 
difficult.  Through  action  of  the  Governing  Board  the  old 
arrangement  was  discontinued,  to  go  into  effect  at  the  opening 
of  the  school  year  1910. 

The  field  work  of  the  Senior  class  was  conducted  at  Doucette, 
Tyler  County,  Texas,  on  the  lands  of  the  Thompson  Brothers 
Lumber  Company.     The  New   Haven   Water  Company  began 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 25 

the  extensive  planting  of  waste  areas.  Nurseries  were  estab- 
lished and  plans  made  to  reforest  by  planting  during  the  next 
decade  from  1,500  to  2,000  acres  of  open  land.  The  work  on 
the  forested  areas  was  progressing  rapidly  and  already  there 
were  many  instructive  illustrations  of  the  results  of  applied 
forestry. 

1909-1910 

The  tenth  class  to  enroll  at  the  School  entered  in  July,  1909. 
There  had  been  a  gradual  increase  in  attendance  since  the 
organization  of  the  School.  From  seven  students  in  1900  the 
number  had  increased  in  1909  to  thirty-seven  in  the  Senior  class 
and  forty-five  in  the  Junior,  not  including  five  enrolled  for  the 
summer  term  only.  In  addition  to  the  regular  students  fifteen 
were  enrolled  in  the  short  course  and  twelve  from  other 
departments  of  the  University. 

This  year  marked  the  discontinuance  of  the  summer  school. 
The  rapid  development  of  secondary  forest  schools  and  depart- 
ments of  forestry  in  various  institutions  lessened  somewhat  the 
demand  for  this  course.  Furthermore  the  large  increase  in  the 
number  of  students  in  the  regular  course  made  it  difificult  to 
provide  instructors  from  among  the  members  of  the  Faculty. 
During  the  existence  of  the  summer  school  there  were  enrolled 
a  total  of  159  students  or  a  yearly  average  of  18. 

S.  J.  Record  was  appointed  instructor  in  forestry  early  in  the 
year  and  W.  O.  Filley  field  assistant.  In  January  the  School 
suffered  a  distinct  loss  in  the  indefinite  leave  of  absence  granted 
the  director  on  his  appointment  by  President  Taft  to  the  posi- 
tion of  Forester  of  the  United  States  Forest  Service.  Mr. 
Toumey  became  acting  director.  The  Senior  field  work  was 
conducted  at  Clarks,  La.,  on  the  property  of  the  Central 
Louisiana  Lumber  Company. 

The  large  increase  in  attendance  called  for  more  space  for 
laboratories  and  lecture  rooms.  Marsh  Hall  was  overcrowded, 
making  it  necessary  to  duplicate  certain  courses.  As  there  was 
no  prospect  of  a  new  building  suitable  for  the  needs  of  the 
School,  the  timber  testing  laboratory,  only  used  for  a  few  months 
each  year,  was  dismantled  to  make  space  for  more  imperative 
needs. 


26 YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

Early  in  the  year  Mrs.  Morris  K.  Jesup  of  New  York  gave 
an  endowment  of  $100,000  for  a  professorship  of  silviculture, 
and  Mr.  Tourney  was  appointed  the  Morris  K.  Jesup  professor 
of  silviculture. 

1910-1911 

At  the  opening  of  the  summer  term  in  1910  it  became  apparent 
that  an  increasing  number  of  men  were  being  drawn  from  other 
institutions  where  forestry  was  taught.  During  the  year  five 
graduates  in  forestry  from  other  schools  were  in  attendance. 
Twenty-six  states  and  foreign  countries  were  represented  in  the 
student  body,  which  was  the  same  as  in  the  previous  year.  No 
change  in  the  distribution  of  the  student  body,  due  to  the  rapid 
development  of  forest  schools  and  departments  of  forestry  else- 
where in  the  country,  was  apparent.  With  the  beginning  of  the 
year  the  curriculum  was  rearranged  and  all  the  courses  became 
technical  in  character.  The  following  changes  were  made  in  the 
teaching  staff:  Messrs.  Chapman  and  Bryant  were  made  full 
professors,  S.  J.  Record  was  promoted  to  be  assistant  professor 
and  W.  O.  Filley  resigned  and  accepted  the  position  of  assistant 
forester  of  Connecticut. 

The  Senior  field  work  was  conducted  at  Trinity,  Texas.  The 
unusually  large  class  made  it  necessary  to  employ  two  temporary 
field  assistants,  C.  A.  Hoar,  M.F.  '10,  and  Harold  Fay,  M.F.  '10. 

Nearly  three  years  previous  the  task  of  increasing  the 
resources  of  the  School  by  five  hundred  thousand  dollars  was 
undertaken.  The  large  increase  in  the  number  of  students  made 
the  need  of  a  new  building  almost  imperative.  Money  was 
needed  for  salary  increases  and  for  experimental  work  and  pub- 
lications. At  the  close  of  the  year  the  total  receipts  toward  this 
fund  were  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars.  At  the  end 
of  the  year  forty-three  men  completed  the  course  and  received 
the  degree  Master  of  Forestry.  This  is  the  largest  number  that 
received  the  degree  in  a  single  year  since  the  organization  of  the 
School. 

1911-1912 

For  the  past  two  years  the  requirements  for  admission  were 
given  considerable  attention.  In  the  curriculum  as  first  formed 
there  were  many  botanical,  zoological  and  other  courses  which 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH 27 

in  their  scope  paralleled  the  undergraduate  work  in  colleges  and 
universities.  These  subjects  were  deemed  necessary  because 
most  applicants  were  poorly  prepared  in  them,  and  it  appeared 
advisable  to  incorporate  them  in  the  requirements  for  admission. 
The  applicant  must  now  hold  a  degree  from  a  high-grade  uni- 
versity, college  or  technical  school  and  in  addition  present  evi- 
dence that  he  has  taken  at  least  one  full  year  in  college  or 
university  botany,  including  general  morphology,  histology  and 
physiology  of  plants;  at  least  one  college  course  in  zoology, 
physics,  inorganic  chemistry,  geology,  economics,  mechanical 
drawing,  the  completion  of  mathematics  through  trigonometry, 
and  has  a  reading  knowledge  of  French  or  German. 

The  effect  of  this  was  apparent  in  the  class  that  entered  under 
the  new  requirements  in  191 1.  It  resulted  in  a  marked  advance 
in  scholarship  due  to  a  more  thorough  preparation  in  the  sci- 
ences which  are  a  foundation  for  forestry.  In  most  respects 
the  first  year's  operation  of  the  new  schedule  was  highly  satis- 
factory. The  elimination  of  general  science  and  most  of  the 
special  lecture  courses  gave  the  much  needed  opportunity  to 
increase  the  technical  work.  The  requirements  in  both  silvi- 
culture and  management  were  nearly  doubled.  There  was  a 
sharp  falling  off  in  attendance,  but  to  what  extent  it  was  due 
to  this  change  is  not  known.  It  is  believed  to  have  been  partly 
due  to  the  rapid  increase  in  the  number  of  schools.  The 
attendance  for  the  year  was  sixty,  a  decrease  of  forty-two  from 
that  of  the  previous  year.  This  made  no  appreciable  difference 
in  the  wide  distribution  of  the  students,  as  the  sixty  men  enrolled 
were  from  twenty-five  states. 

The  revised  schedule,  calling  for  additional  field  work  in 
silviculture,  made  it  necessary  for  the  Junior  class  to  spend  two 
weeks  of  the  spring  term  in  the  Adirondack  Mountains.  As  in 
previous  years  the  Senior  field  work  was  conducted  in  the  South. 
The  Crossett  Lumber  Company,  Crossett,  Ark.,  granted  the  use 
of  their  property  for  this  work. 

The  curriculum  at  this  time  offered  instruction  in  thirty-six 
courses  in  forestry  subjects,  all  of  a  technical  nature.  They 
varied  in  length  from  one  to  three  terms  with  the  exception 
of  two  short  courses  on  special  subjects  by  outside  lecturers. 
It  was  apparent  that  the  work  could  not  be  materially  extended, 


28  YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

without  putting  too  great  a  burden  on  the  students,  unless  some 
of  the  courses  offered  were  elective.  It  was  believed  to  be  impos- 
sible to  omit  any  of  the  required  courses  and  still  provide  an 
all-round  training  in  technical  forestry. 

Because  of  the  continued  absence  of  Mr.  Graves  his  resigna- 
tion as  director  was  accepted  and  Mr.  Toumey,  who  had  served 
as  acting  director  for  two  years,  was  made  director.  Mr.  Graves 
retained  his  position  as  a  member  of  the  Governing  Board 
and  of  the  Faculty,  with  leave  extended  for  another  year. 
Arrangements  were  completed  whereby  Mr.  Record,  beginning 
with  the  year  1912-13,  would  carry  the  work  in  technology  for- 
merly given  by  Mr.  Dean  and  the  course  on  the  classification  and 
structure  of  wood  formerly  given  by  A.  H.  Graves. 

For  the  first  time  since  the  organization  of  the  School  the 
library  was  placed  in  charge  of  a  trained  librarian.  Miss  L  M. 
Tisdale,  formerly  on  the  staff  of  the  University  Library.  The 
library  had  grown  to  such  proportions  that  this  was  necessary 
in  order  to  properly  catalogue  and  put  it  in  form  for  ready 
reference  and  greater  usefulness. 

The  publication  of  a  series  of  bulletins,  memoirs  and  mis- 
cellaneous works  relating  to  the  School  was  begun.  This  was 
of  vast  importance  as  it  gave  the  School  a  wider  field  of  use- 
fulness and  brought  it  in  closer  touch  with  the  alumni  and  the 
general  public. 

A  graduate  Advisory  Board  had  been  elected  in  1905  in  order 
to  bring  the  School  into  closer  relations  with  the  alumni.  At 
first  it  had  consisted  of  but  three  members,  but  was  later  enlarged 
to  five,  and  has  been  of  continually  increasing  usefulness.  Dur- 
ing this  year  the  School  was  brought  into  closer  relations  with 
the  alumni  through  the  organization  of  the  alumni  association 
with  officers  and  class  secretaries.  This  association  met  at  New 
Haven  on  December  20  and  21,  191 1,  and  the  following  officers 
were  elected  for  five  years : 

President,  W.  B.  Greeley,  M.F.  '04. 

Vice-president,  T.  S.  Woolsey,  Jr.,  M.F.  '03. 

Secretary  and  treasurer,  H.  H.  Chapman,  M.F.  '04. 

This  association  not  only  afforded  an  opportunity  for  the 
organization  of  the  alumni  into  an  effective  body  and  familiar- 
ized them  with  the  progress  of  the  School,  but  it  served  as  a 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH  29 

stimulus  to  permanently  establish  a  graduates'  fund.  The  sub- 
scriptions to  this  fund  during  the  first  meeting  of  the  associa- 
tion were  more  than  four  thousand  dollars.  A  gift  of  one 
thousand  dollars  was  received  from  William  Wheeler  of  Buffalo, 
N.  Y.,  the  income  to  be  given  yearly  as  a  prize  for  meritorious 
work  in  silviculture. 

The  first  number  of  the  series  of  bulletins  and  memoirs  pub- 
Hshed  by  the  School  was  issued  in  February,  1912.  This  is  "A 
Classification  for  Forestry  Literature"  and  is  the  classification 
used  in  the  School  library.  In  February,  1912,  the  report  of 
the  alumni  reunion  was  published  and  distributed.  Two  impor- 
tant manuals  dealing  with  forestry  subjects  were  published  by 
members  of  the  Faculty  during  the  year,  namely:  "Forestry  in 
New  England"  by  Mr.  Hawley,  in  collaboration  with  Mr. 
Hawes,  State  Forester  of  Vermont,  and  "Identification  of  the 
Economic  Woods  of  the  United  States"   by  Mr.  Record. 

A  conference  of  American  Forest  Schools  was  called  in 
December,  1909,  to  consider  the  aim,  scope,  grade  and  length 
of  curriculum  as  the  first  step  in  the  standardization  of  forestry 
education.  At  this  conference  a  committee  was  appointed  to 
draw  up  a  plan  for  the  standardization  of  the  requirements  for 
technical  training  in  forestry.  Director  Graves  was  appointed 
chairman ;  other  members  of  the  committee  were  B.  E.  Fernow, 
R.  T.  Fisher,  Filibert  Roth  and  Gifford  Pinchot.  A  second 
conference  was  called  in  December,  191 1.  Nearly  all  American 
institutions  offering  instruction  in  forestry  were  represented. 
The  plan  of  the  committee  was  discussed  in  detail  and  it  was 
agreed  to  publish  the  report  in  the  Forestry  Quarterly.  The 
committee  was  continued,  and  on  the  resignation  of  the  chair- 
man his  place  was  taken  by  Mr.  Toumey.  The  report  of  the 
committee  was  published  in  Volume  X,  Number  3,  of  the  For- 
estry Quarterly,  and  widely  distributed.  The  importance  of 
this  report,  its  influence  on  forestry  education  in  America,  and 
the  part  taken  in  it  by  the  Yale  Forest  School,  calls  for  its 
recognition  in  this  historical  sketch. 

1912-1913 
The  total  number  of  students  enrolled  during  the  year  was 
fifty.     It  became  still  more  evident  that  the  marked  falling  off 


30 YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

in  attendance,  first  noticeable  in  the  previous  year's  class  and 
still  more  conspicuous  in  the  enrollment  for  the  year  1912-13, 
was  due  to  two  fundamental  causes :  first,  the  continued  increase 
in  the  facilities  for  forestry  education  in  the  United  States; 
second,  the  keener  competition  for  profitable  employment  after 
graduation.  To  what  extent  these  conditions  will  affect  future 
attendance  at  the  school  it  is  uncertain.  Future  classes  are  likely 
to  be  smaller  and  to  include  a  constantly  increasing  number  of 
students  from  other  schools  who  come  to  Yale  to  complete  their 
technical  training. 

Shortly  after  the  organization  of  the  alumni  association  in 
December,  191 1,  a  movement  was  set  on  foot  to  publish  a  quar- 
terly to  be  known  as  the  Yale  Forest  School  Nezvs.  The  grad- 
uate Advisory  Board  undertook  the  financing  and  management 
of  the  proposed  publication.  The  first  number  of  this  new 
quarterly  appeared  in  January,  1913,  with  the  following  officers 
in  charge: 

Editor,  W.  B.  Greeley,  M.F.  '04. 
Alumni  notes,  H.  H.  Chapman,  M.F.  '04. 
Managing  editor,  S.  J.  Record,  M.F.  '05. 

The  Yale  Forest  School  Nezvs  was  well  received  from  the  first. 
It  serves  a  much  needed  purpose  as  a  medium  for  communication 
between  the  alumni  and  the  officers  of  instruction. 

Bulletin  2,  "Prolonging  the  Cut  of  Southern  Pine,"  by 
Messrs.  Chapman  and  Bryant,  was  published  in  February,  1913. 

The  field  work  of  the  Senior  class  was  conducted  at  Warren, 
Ark.,  and  the  spring  field  work  of  the  Junior  class  in  the 
Adirondack  Mountains. 

In  June,  1913,  six  hundred  and  twenty-five  acres  of  land  at 
Keene,  N.  H.,  were  presented  to  the  School  by  George  H.  Myers, 
M.F.  '02,  as  the  nucleus  for  a  School  forest. 


OUTLOOK    FOR   THE    FUTURE 

This  historical  sketch  of  the  development  of  the  Yale  Forest 
School  from  its  organization  until  the  close  of  the  school  year 
in  June,  1913,  would  not  be  complete  without  a  brief  statement 
relating  to  its  outlook  for  the  future.     As  stated  in  the  address 


AN  HISTORICAL  SKETCH  31 

of  the  director  before  the  alumni  in  December,  191 1,  the  future 
development  of  the  School  must  be  along  the  following  lines : 

a.  In  adding  to  the  efficiency  of  the  present  courses; 

b.  In  establishing  elective  courses  in  the  Senior  year; 

c.  In  increasing  our  facilities  for  research  and  advanced  work. 


The  need  of  the  first  of  these  is  always  present  because  no 
course  is  so  complete  that  it  does  not  require  constant  atten- 
tion on  the  part  of  the  instructor  in  order  to  keep  it  abreast  of 
the  times  and  effective  from  an  educational  standpoint. 

As  regards  the  second,  it  is  believed  that  the  time  is  already 
at  hand  when  elective  courses  should  be  considered.  Because 
of  the  large  amount  of  required  work  it  is  not  possible  to  add 
many  optional  courses,  such  as  the  course  on  park  and  street 
trees  offered  for  the  first  time  in  191 1,  and  four  proposed 
optional  courses  to  be  given  for  the  first  time  in  1913-14.  Addi- 
tional courses  must  be  largely  elective  in  the  Senior  year, 
substituted  for  some  of  those  required  at  the  present  time. 

Forestry  is  a  very  broad  and  diversified  subject.  The  training 
required  for  work  in  one  particular  branch  may  be  quite  dif- 
ferent from  that  required  in  another.  Thus  a  man  who  devotes 
himself  to  the  reproduction,  development  and  growth  of  timber 
should  specialize  in  silviculture  and  management,  while  one 
whose  chief  attention  is  given  to  utilization  should  specialize 
in  lumbering  and  technology. 

Regarding  the  third,  it  is  useless  to  offer  advanced  work 
unless  there  are  students  prepared  to  take  it.  In  general,  such 
work  is  only  open  to  those  who  have  already  completed  the 
regular  course  or  what  is  deemed  equivalent  in  other  institutions. 
Fellowships  are  needed  to  stimulate  advanced  work  and  to 
induce  able  men  to  come  to  Yale  and  continue  along  some 
particular  line  in  forestry. 

With  the  expanded  work  of  the  school  it  is  possible  that  the 
best  interests  of  the  profession  can  be  served  by  opening  certain 
courses  to  men  with  woods  experience  who  are  not  college  or 
university  graduates,  but  who  desire  to  enter  the  School  as 
special  students  in  order  to  secure  instruction  along  some 
particular  line. 


3f YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

The  Treasurer's  reports  for  the  past  twelve  years  show  the 
yearly  income  from  tuition  and  from  endowment  to  be  as 
follows : 

Income  from  Income  from 

Tuition  Endowment 

1900     $       861.52 

1901      $    1,240.00  6,666.80 

1902     3,373-84  7,351-05 

1903     4,585-32  7,224.71 

1904      6,859.51  8,902.42 

1905     5,997-50  8,568.95 

1906    6,026.34  7,951-66 

1907    6,469.34  9,507-89 

1908 7,269.41  10,057.62 

1909    8,085.24  10,81 1.47

191 1     1 1,720.50  17,701.74 

1912    -. 7,765.76  20,706.40 

From  this  table  it  appears  that  the  increase  in  annual  income 
is  from  both  tuition  and  endowment.  With  our  student  body 
approximately  the  same  in  numbers  as  now,  our  present  endow- 
ment will  carry  the  work  of  the  School  as  now  conducted  and 
provide  for  minor  extensions,  particularly  in  the  direction  of 
publications.  It  will  not,  however,  entirely  provide  for  neces- 
sary increases  in  the  salaries  of  the  younger  members  of  the 
Faculty  which  must  be  met  in  the  immediate  future,  or  for  the 
extension  of  the  curriculum  and  the  advancement  of  the  School 
along  the  various  lines  already  begun  or  that  have  been 
suggested. 

With  the  smaller  classes  of  the  past  two  years  Marsh  Hall 
as  now  arranged  provides  sufficient  space  for  necessary  lecture 
rooms,  but  laboratory  facilities  are  insufficient,  the  library  is 
overcrowded  and  there  is  no  space  for  the  display  of  collections. 

The  work  accomplished  by  the  School  is  expressed  in  the 
biographical  records  of  her  alumni  which  appear  in  this  volume. 
These  records  clearly  show  to  what  extent  Yale  men  are 
identified  with  and  are  responsible  for  the  development  of 
forestry  in  America.

Alfred  Knight  Chittenden  was  born  October  28,  1879,  in  New  Haven, 
Conn.,  the  son  of  Professor  Russell  Henry  Chittenden,  Ph.D.,  Sc.D., 
LL.D.,  Yale  '75  S.,  director  of  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School,  and  Ger- 
trude Louise  (Baldwin)  Chittenden.  He  has  two  sisters,  Edith  Russell 
Chittenden,  B.A.  Smith  '99,  and  Lilla  Millard  (Chittenden)  Barbour, 
wife  of  Henry  Gray  Barbour,  B.A.  Trinity  '06,  M.D.  Johns  Hopkins 
'10,  who  was  appointed  assistant  professor  of  pharmacology  in  the  Yale 
Medical  School  in  1912. 

He  was  prepared  at  the  Hopkins  Grammar  School  of  New  Haven 
and  graduated  from  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School  in  1900.  In  the 
Scientific  School  he  took  the  Civil  Engineer  Course,  received  general 
scholastic  honors,  and  was  a  member  of  the  scholarship  society,  Sigma 
Xi. 

He  was  married  February  11,  1908,  in  Washington,  D.  C,  to  Miss 
Lulu  W.  Brower  of  Washington. 

Chittenden  is  director  of  the  engineering  experiment  station 
and  lecturer  on  timber  and  timber  resources  at  the  College  of 
Engineering  of  the  University  of  Illinois.  After  graduation 
from  the  Forest  School  he  went  abroad  for  seven  months  to 
study  forest  conditions  in  Germany,  Austria,  Switzerland, 
France  and  England.  On  returning  to  the  United  States  he 
entered  the  United  States  Forest  Service  and  has  since  worked 
in  nearly  every  state  in  the  Union,  serving  successively  as  forest 
assistant,  chief  of  the  section  of  cooperation,  assistant  district 
forester  and  forest  inspector.  For  a  year,  in  1907,  he  was  in 
private  business  in  Baltimore,  doing  consulting  forestry  work 
under  the  firm  name  of  Chittenden  &  Patterson.  On  September 
20,  191 1,  he  was  appointed  forester  in  the  United  States  Indian 
Service  with  headquarters  in  Washington,  D.  C.  This  position 
he  held  until  receiving  his  present  appointment. 

He  writes:  "The  Indian  Service  has  a  well  developed  Forest 
Service  which  is  handling  all  timber  matters  on  the  Indian 
Reservations.  There  are  thirty-one  saw  mills  on  the  reserva- 
tions operated  for  the  benefit  of  the  Indians  by  the  Government. 
These  mills  vary  in  size  from  small  portable  mills  to  the  large 
mill,  with  a  daily  capacity  of  over  200,000  feet,  on  the  Menominee 
Indian  Reservation  in  Wisconsin.

"The  total  area  of  Indian  timber  lands  is  roughly  estimated  at 
6,500,000  acres,  containing  approximately  38,000,000,000  feet  of 
timber,  and  valued  at  over  $84,000,000.  In  order  to  protect  and 
properly  administer  these  resources  a  considerable  force  of  men 
is  employed,  consisting  of  forest  guards,  rangers,  scalers,  lum- 
bermen and  technically  trained  foresters.  The  work  is  in  many 
respects  similar  to  that  of  the  Forest  Service,  except  that  no 
purely  investigative  work  is  carried  on  and  that  where  it  seems 
advisable  timber  is  logged,  handled  and  manufactured  by  the 
Service,  the  lumber  being  sold  or  disposed  of  for  the  benefit  of 
the  Indians.  A  considerable  amount  of  permanent  improvement 
work  is  being  carried  on,  roads,  trails,  telephone  lines,  cabins, 
corrals  and  fences  being  constructed.  The  Indian  timber  lands, 
unlike  the  National  Forests,  were  not  set  aside  for  protective 
purposes,  but  for  the  use  and  benefit  of  the  Indians.  Much  of 
the  timber  is  located  on  good  agricultural  soil,  some  of  which 
is  allotted.  In  such  cases  clear  cutting  is  practised,  all  the  timber 
being  cut  and  removed,  and  the  Indians  encouraged  to  farm 
this  land.  On  the  really  forest  soil,  however,  forestry  methods 
are  followed  in  logging."

Concerning  his  various  experiences,  Hosmer  writes :  "Summer 
of  1902  was  spent  in  Maine,  in  charge  of  a  party  working  near 
Moosehead  Lake  on  study  of  spruce  on  cut-over  land,  carried 
on  jointly  by  the  Bureau  of  Forestry  and  the  State  of  Maine. 
In  the  summer  season  of  1903  I  went  on  an  inspection  trip  to 
New  England  regarding  work  on  white  pine,  in  section  of 
forest  replacement,  and  from  July  to  November  i,  I  was  in 
Southern  California  in  charge  in  that  part  of  the  state  of  coop- 
erative forest  investigation  carried  on  by  the  Bureau  of  Forestry 
and  the  State  of  California.  Since  January,  1904,  I  have  been 
in  Hawaii ;  organized  the  division  of  forestry  in  the  Board  of 
Agriculture  and  Forestry;  estabHshed  forest  reserve  system; 
systematized  forest  fire  service ;  conducted  campaign  of  educa- 
tion in  forestry  and  conservation ;  and  pursued  policy  of  advice 
and  assistance  to  private  owners,  particularly  in  tree  planting; 
also,  as  far  as  limited  funds  permitted,  have  carried  on  experi- 
mental work  in  the  introduction  into  and  trial  in  Hawaii  of  trees 
of  economic  importance  new  to  the  islands.  Outside  of  my 
regular  work  I  have  been  interested  in  the  establishment  of  the 
College  of  Hawaii,  the  local  college  of  agriculture  and  mechanic 
arts,  of  which  I  have  been  a  regent  since  its  inception ;  and  in 
various  phases  of  city  improvement  work.  My  chief  avocations 
are  in  connection  with  affairs  of  the  Harvard  Club  of  Hawaii

and  the  local  University  Club.  I  have  been  much  interested, 
and  have  helped  as  I  could,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Vol- 
canological  Observatory  at  Kilauea,  and  in  the  extension  to 
Hawaii  of  several  branches  of  government  scientific  work 
carried  on  by  various  bureaus  and  departments.  In  1906  I  made 
a  three  months'  trip  to  the  Eastern  states,  during  which  I  read 
a  paper,  subsequently  published  in  its  Proceedings,  before  the 
Society  of  American  Foresters.  In  1908  I  was  again  in  the 
East,  at  the  time  of  the  Conference  of  the  Governors,  and  in

to  191 1  working  in  the  Forest  Service  and  teaching  at  the 
Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College.  Here  he  was 
assistant  in  the  horticultural  department  and  later  became  pro-

appointed  professor  of  forestry  at  the  State  College  of  Wash- 
ington, Pullman,  Wash.,  which  position  he  now  holds. 

He  writes:  "The  chief  business  event  of  my  life  since  leav- 
ing Yale  was  the  purchase  of  a  thousand-acre  farm  in  Kansas 
in  1905.  With  but  $80  cash  in  my  pocket  I  obligated  myself 
to  pay  $13,000  in  seven  years'  time  at  six  and  a  half  per  cent, 
interest.  I  always  have  had  the  greatest  possible  faith  in  agri- 
cultural land  as  a  safe  investment,  particularly  in  a  country  with 
such  agricultural  resources  as  Kansas.  Before  my  mortgage 
fell  due,  I  was  able  to  pay  it  off  in  full,  by  selling  land  at  an 
advance  in  price  and  by  saving  from  my  salary.  To-day  I  own 
1,053  acres  of  Kansas  land  free  from  debt,  worth  at  the  lowest 
market  price  $35,000.  I  would  not  part  with  the  land  for 
$50,000.  Faith  in  Kansas  and  'nerve'  have  enabled  me  to  be 
the  owner  of  one  of  the  finest  stock  farms  in  the  United  States, 
where  I  propose  to  spend  my  declining  years  practicing  'farm 
forestry,'  plant  breeding  and  stock  raising.  I  hope  to  teach 
a  few  years  longer,  then  retire  to  my  farm  to  practice  what  I 
have  taught." 

Clothier  is  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  church.  Of  his 
political  ideas  he  writes :  "Was  a  Republican  till  high  tariff 
and  legislation  promoting  trusts  drove  me  first  to  the  Democratic 
party,  then  to  the  People's  party,  then  again  to  the  Democratic 
party  under  Bryan,  and  now  to  the  Progressive  party  under 
Roosevelt."  He  was  elected  to  the  ofiice  of  superintendent 
of  public  instruction  in  Wabaun,  Kans.,  by  the  Populists  and 
Democrats  in  1892.  He  is  a  member  of  the  American  Breeders' 
Association,  the  American  Forestry  Association,  the  National

to  1871,  and  a  descendant  of  Jonathan  Edwards,  Yale  1720.  A  brother, 
Heathcote  Muirson  Woolsey,  graduated  from  Yale  in  1907. 

He  was  prepared  at  St.  Mark's  School  at  Southboro,  Mass.,  the  Pomfret 
School  of  Pomfret,  Conn.,  and  the  Fay  School,  and  graduated  from 
Yale  in  1901.  While  there  he  was  on  the  editorial  board  of  the  Yale 
Daily  News  and  was  a  member  of  Alpha  Delta  Phi. 

He  was  married  March  15,  1908,  in  Albuquerque,  N.  Mex.,  to  Miss  Ruby 
Hilsman  Pickett  of  Dawson,  Ga.,  daughter  of  Thomas  Hamilton  Pickett,  a 
lawyer  and  soldier.  Mrs.  Pickett's  maiden  name  was  Davenport.  They 
have  four  daughters :  Elizabeth  Davenport  Woolsey,  born  December  25, 
1908,  in  Albuquerque,  N.  Mex. ;  Ann  Salisbury  Woolsey,  born  June  5, 
1910,  in  Albuquerque;  Edith  Woolsey,  born  April  25,  1912,  in  Lausanne, 
Switzerland ;    and  Sarah  Woolsey,  born  April  26,  1913,  in  Paris,  France. 

Woolsey  is  an  assistant  district  forester  in  District  3  with 
headquarters  at  Albuquerque,  N.  Mex.  He  was  appointed  to 
this  position  in  October,  1908.  Previous  to  this  he  had  held 
successively  the  positions  of  assistant  forest  expert,  forest  assist- 
ant and  forest  inspector,  being-  appointed  to  the  last  on  May 
15,  1907.  During  March  and  April  of  191 1  he  was  acting  chief 
of  silviculture.  He  spent  the  year  1904-05  studying  government 
forestry  in  Germany,  France  and  India  and  is  at  present  on  leave 
of  absence,  studying  in  Austria  and  France.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Graduate  Advisory  Board  of  the  Yale  Forest  School.

He  writes:  "The  windy,  sun  baked  hills  in  the  neighborhood 
of  Marseille  (where  not  denuded)  are  covered  with  pin  d'alep 
which  during  the  summer  and  winter  months  must  exist  almost 
entirely  without  rain.  Even  at  Gresque  at  an  elevation  of  350 
meters  the  rainfall  is  but  691  millimeters  during  an  average  year. 
Add  to  the  summer  droughts  a  temperature  of  25°  to  37° 
centigrade  and  the  vegetative  conditions  become  intolerable. 
The  fellings  consequently  are  light  and  rarely  remove  more 
than  25  per  cent,  of  the  volume.  The  selection  system  is 
employed  because  in  the  words  of  the  inspector:  'We  are  afraid 
of  the  regular  shelterwood  fellings  because  after  the  parent 
trees  are  removed  the  young  crop  is  exposed  to  the  full  force 
of  the  wind  and  drought.  To  avoid  heavy  losses  during  the 
periodic  droughts  we  employ  light  selection  fellings :  if  once 
the  ground  becomes  denuded  artificial  restocking  is  a  difficult 
undertaking.' 

"And  no  wonder  it  is  difficult !  In  the  Commune  of  Marseille 
(Serie  de  reboisement  de  la  Gordiale),  the  government  has  pur- 
chased some  800  hectares  of  denuded  calcareous  hills  as  a 
demonstration  forest  and  to  temper,  if  possible,  the  climate,  of 
Marseille  by  surrounding  it  with  forests.  Here  a  local  nursery 
has  been  established  and  systematic  reforestation  is  in  progress. 
It  has  taken  years  of  study  to  determine  the  best  methods. 

"They  sow  the  pin  d'alep  in  seed  spots  where  the  conditions 
are  not  too  unfavorable  and  use  ball  plants  (pot  method)  where 
seeding  results  or  would  result  in  failures.  The  sowing  and 
planting  is  in  the  fall  just  before  or  during  the  rains.  Spring 
sowing  is  equally  successful  until  the  summer  drought  starts 
but  during  this  period  the  losses  are  enormous.  The  seed  spots 
are  carefully  cultivated  and  cleared  of  stones  and  rocks.  The 
size  varies  somewhat  but  on  poor  ground  the  spots  are  .80  by 
.60  meters  and  30  to  35  centimeters  deep.  They  cost  from  6 
to  12  cents  each,  and  are  irregularly  spaced  3  to  4  meters  apart 
by  a  rough  quincieux  system.  When  the  soil  is  ready  for  the 
seed  the  surface  is  2  to  5  inches  below  the  ground  level.  This 
depression  collects  the  water  a  little  during  the  rains  and  pro- 
tects the  seedlings  against  the  wind.  Perhaps  60  seeds  (a  small 
handful)  are  sown  in  each  spot  and  are  raked  into  the  soil 
to  a  depth  of  i  to  i^  centimeters.     As  soon  as  the  sowing  is 


NON  GRADUATES  CLASS  OF  1903 63 

complete  a  uniform  cover  of  brush  is  placed  on  the  seed  spot 
and  is  held  down  by  a  good-sized  rock.  The  success  of  this 
method  is  phenomenal.  Its  chief  features  are:  large  well- 
worked  seed  spot;  heavy  sowing  to  discount  certain  loss  of  at 
least  50  to  90  per  cent,  of  the  seedlings  which  germinate;  the 
brush  cover;   sowing  before  or  during  the  rains. 

"The  same  seed  spots  are  prepared  for  planting  and  the  pin 
d'alep,  after  one  year  in  the  seed  bed  and  one  year  in  the  terra 
cotta  pot,  is  ball  planted  after  the  pot  is  removed.  When  the 
ground  is  moist  the  ball  of  earth  around  the  roots  (often  caked 
hard)  is  loosened  to  give  the  roots  a  better  chance.  This  method 
is  so  expensive  it  is  only  used  where  absolutely  necessary." 

He  is  an  Episcopalian.  He  is  a  Mason,  a  member  of  the 
Graduates  Club  of  New  Haven,  the  University  Club  of  New

He  came  to  the  United  States  in  1893,  entered  the  public  schools  of 
New  York  and  was  graduated  in  1896  with  two  medals.  He  then  studied

Planting  and  Preservation  of  City  Trees.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  executive  committee  of  the  Long  Island  Agricultural  Edu- 
cation Association  and  of  the  botany  department  of  the 
Brooklyn  Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences;  has  lectured  at  the 
Yale  Forest  School  on  ornamental  and  shade  trees,  and  has 
been  called  by  many  cities  to  organize  tree  commissions  for 
them,  lecture  and  start  them  in  their  work  on  the  care  and 
planting  of  trees. 

He  writes:  "My  chief  interest  during  the  past  six  years  has 
centered  around  the  city  tree  problem  of  the  country.  Seven 
years  ago  I  saw  the  need  of  championing  forestry  among  the 
city  dwellers  and  to  put  the  tree  problems  of  our  parks  on  a 
scientific  footing.  It  was  all  in  the  hands  of  untrained  men. 
Brooklyn  and  Queens  Park  departments  offered  the  opportunity 
for  demonstrating  the  possibilities  of  such  work  and  from  that 
very  moment  I  had  to  fight  against  all  sorts  of  odds  to  introduce 
new  methods  and  get  scientific  tree  care  recognized.  We  are 
still  spending  nearly  $4,000,000  annually  on  parks  in  New  York 
City  and  only  a  very  small  fraction  of  this  goes  to  tree  work. 
But  now  we  are  getting  more  and  more  interest  in  the  trees 
and  the  people  are  fast  becoming  educated  to  it.  It  had  to 
be  done  by  systematic  and  constant  effort  in  writing,  lecturing, 
talking  from  the  platform,  defying  politicians,  etc.  I  traveled 
to  other  cities  and  did  the  same  there  and  now  we  have  many 
cities  awake  to  it.  I  am  now  especially  interested  in  seeing 
municipal  forests  established  in  cities  and  to  have  these  displace 
the  common,  conventional  and  extremely  expensive  formal 
park." 

Levison  is  a  member  of  the  Ethical  Culture  Society  of  Brook- 
lyn, Mason  Lodge,  Brooklyn  Entomological  Society,  Brooklyn 
Institute  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  American  Association  of  Park

work  and  delivered  over  three  hundred  lectures  in  New  York  and  many 
other  cities  throughout  the  East.  His  pamphlets  have  been  published  by

of  1904  I  worked  in  West  Virginia  making  a  working  plan 
under  Ralph  Hawley  for  the  U.  S.  Coal  &  Coke  Company, 
approximately  60,000  acres.  Passed  civil  service  exams  in  1905 
and  was  assigned  to  the  Leadville  Forest  in  Colorado.  For 
three  months  I  worked  as  ranger,  forest  assistant  and  somewhat 
in  the  capacity  of  supervisor.  The  organization  at  that  time 
had  not  crystallized  and  one  man  had  charge  of  the  Pike,  Lead- 
ville and  Holy  Cross  forests  from  Denver.  In  September,  1905, 
I  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  Holy  Cross  Forest  as  acting 
supervisor  to  establish  the  administration  and  get  things  going. 
This  forest  was  the  center  of  bitter  opposition  to  the  Service 
and  it  was  here  that  the  famous  Fred  Light  case  first  came  up. 
After  getting  things  under  way  I  was  sent  to  the  San  Juan 
and  Montezuma  with  headquarters  at  Durango  to  get  the  admin- 
istration under  way.  These  forests  included  together  about 
3,000,000  acres,   and  when   I   arrived   in   early  January,    1906,

nothing-  had  been  done.  I  stayed  until  April  and  was  then  sent 
to  Montana  with  Mr.  E.  A.  Sherman.  I  stayed  two  weeks  and 
was  called  to  Washington  to  serve  in  the  capacity  of  district 
forester  for  District  i.  This  under  the  old  scheme  was  in  no 
way  similar  to  the  present  position.  It  was  an  assignment  to 
handle  general  omnibus  letters  for  signature  of  Washington 
office  administration  officers.  Left  Washington  as  assistant 
forest  inspector  and  went  to  New  Mexico  to  look  over  the 
Portales  with  the  result  of  eliminating  the  entire  forest.  Came 
back  to  Montana  in  the  spring  of  1907  as  forest  inspector  and 
put  the  administration  on  the  newly  created  cabinet.  With 
Redington,  Class  of  1904,  worked  up  the  plan  of  re-districting 
the  forests  in  Montana  and  Idaho.  From  1907  to  December  i, 
1908,  was  a  general  inspection  officer.  With  the  creation  of  the 
district  office  at  Missoula  for  District  i,  I  was  appointed  assistant 
district  forester,  which  title  was  changed  later  to  associate 
district  forester  upon  district  forester  W.  B.  Greeley  being 
called  into  Washington  as  assistant  forester.  I  was  made 
district  forester  July  i,  191 1,  which  position  I  now  hold."

John  Howard  Allison  was  born  September  25,  1883,  in  East  Granby, 
Conn.,  the  son  of  John  Alexander  Allison,  a  farmer  and  holder  of  various 
town  offices,  and  Mary  Elizabeth  (Mack)  Allison.  On  his  father's  side 
he  is  Scotch,  and  on  his  mother's  Irish.  He  has  one  brother,  Nathan  K. 
Allison,  who  attended  Trinity  College  in  Hartford  in   191 1.

Coconino  Working  Plan  (area  now  embraced  in  the  Coconino- 
Tusayan),  which  I  believe  I  could  now  greatly  improve.  I  do 
not  now  believe  the  Service  is  following  the  right  'tack'  to 
get  a  working  plan  which  produces  'plans'  of  value  to  super- 
visors. Since  February  i,  1912,  I  have  been  in  charge  of

in  January,  1913,  to  take  up  teaching  at  the  College  of  Forestry 
at  St.  Paul,  Minn. 

Concerning  his  travels,  Allison  writes:  "My  travels,  outside 
of  trips  in  connection  with  my  duties  in  the  Service,  have 
been  confined  to  brief  pleasure  trips  to  California  (1906,  1909

the    Canadian    Rockies    along    the    Canadian    Pacific    Railroad

N.  Y.,  the  son  of  John  Hermann  Recknagel,  a  commission  merchant  and 
president  of  the  American  Spice  Trade  Association,  and  Marie  (Wester-

N.  Y.,  and  on  his  mother's  side  of  Bernhard  Westermann  and  Johanna

Yale  '98  and  LL.B.  Columbia  '01 ;  and  two  sisters :  Viola  Recknagel 
and  Friede  Recknagel. 

He  was  prepared  at  Bedford  Military  Academy,  Great  Neck,  L.  I.,  and 
Adelphi  Academy,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and  in  1904  graduated  from  Yale 
College,  where  he  was  a  member  of  Sigma  Xi  and  of  the  Orations  Base-

He  was  married  August  25,  1909,  in  Albuquerque,  N.  Mex.,  to  Miss 
Mary  Thomas  Miller  of  Harrisonburg,  Va.,  daughter  of  Lewis  Caperton 
Miller  and  Ada  (Pilson)  Miller.  They  have  one  son,  Bernhard  Wester- 
mann Recknagel,  born  June  11,  1912,  in  Dresden,  Germany. 

Recknagel  is  professor  of  forestry  in  the  New  York  State 
College  of  Agriculture  at  Cornell  University,  Ithaca,  N.  Y., 
where  he  teaches  forest  management,  forest  utilization  and  wood 
technology.  He  has  held  this  position  since  February  i,  1913. 
He  writes :  "On  entering  the  Forest  Service  as  forest  assistant 
in  1906  my  first  assignment  was  to  Santa  Fe,  N.  Mex.,  where 
I  was  engaged  in  timber  sale  examinations  on  the  Jemez,  Carson 
and  Pecos  National  forests.  Transferred  in  November  to  the 
Beaver  National  Forest,  Utah,  for  similar  work,  and  again  to 
the  Coconino  National  Forest,  Flagstaff,  Ariz.,  in  December, 
where  I  remained  on  growth  studies  (western  yellow  pine), 
marking  and  estimates  until  the  end  of  June,  1907,  when  I  was 
ordered  in  to  Washington  for  timber  sale  detail.  In  September 
and  again  in  December  I  was  in  Georgia  on  congressional  tours 
and  in  Tennessee  on  a  woodlot  examination.  In  January  I  was 
made  acting  chief  of  the  reorganized  section  of  reconnaissance, 
office  of  management.  This  appointment  was  confirmed  in  Feb- 
ruary and  in  April  I  started  on  a  four  months'  trip  to  organize 


132  YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

the  new  field  work.  This  trip  carried  me  to  New  Mexico,  Colo- 
rado, Utah,  Wyoming,  Montana,  Idaho  and  Washington.  I 
returned  to  Washington,  D.  C,  over  the  Canadian  Pacific  from 
Vancouver  to  Montreal.  During  August  I  was  in  Alabama 
on  congressional  tours  and  also  conferred  with  the  governors  of 
Alabama  and  of  Georgia  as  to  Service  cooperation  with  these 
states.  In  December  I  left  Washington  to  take  up  my  duties 
in  District  3  as  assistant  chief  of  silviculture,  remaining  there 
for  nearly  three  years  or  until  October,  191 1,  when  I  sailed  for 
Europe  on  a  year's  leave  of  absence  to  study  forest  conditions 
abroad. 

"The  fall  semester  I  enrolled  at  the  Forst  Akademie  at  Ebers- 
walde,  near  Berlin,  then  I  traveled  through  Germany,  France, 
Switzerland  and  Austria.  I  became  especially  interested  in 
the  management:  i.  e.,  in  the  working  plan  practice  of  the 
various  countries,  and,  on  settling  at  Dresden  for  some  months, 
specialized  on  this  subject,  having  the  Forst  Akademie  at 
Tharandt  conveniently  near. 

"Again  and  again  it  has  been  brought  home  to  me  that  the 
experiences  we  are  making  and  the  stages  through  which  we 
are  passing  are  nothing  new  but  merely  the  inexorable  repeti- 
tion of  history  modified  by  changed  economic  conditions.  But 
great  as  has  been  the  progress  made  by  European  nations  in 
the  science  of  forestry,  it  has  not  resulted  in  stagnation.  New 
ideas  and  improvements  on  old  methods  are  constantly  being 
introduced  and  all  this  makes  for  progress  towards  the  ideal 
forestry  which  is,  apparently,  as  far  removed  from  realization 
in  Europe  as  it  is  in  America. 

"This  progress  of  present  day  forestry  in  Europe  is  best 
exemplified,  it  seems  to  me,  by  the  turning  away  from  pure 
stands  and  artificial  regeneration  toward  mixed  stands  and  natural 
regeneration.  Throughout  Prussia  the  beech  is  being  coaxed 
back  among  the  Scotch  pine  stands.  Saxony,  where  spruce 
was  raised  in  pure  stands  for  successive  generations,  has  realized 
that  this  repetition  of  the  same  crop,  however  profitable,  soon 
exhausts  the  soil. 

"Another  striking  example  of  this  progress  is  Professor 
Wagner's  'Blendersaumschlag'  or  Border  Cuttings,  whereby 
he  regenerates  naturally  under  shelter  working  from  the  northern 


GRADUATES  CLASS  OF  1906  133 

side,  where  is  the  maximum  of  sun  and  wind  protection,  towards 
the  southern  side  of  the  stand. 

'Tn  methods  of  artificial  regeneration  what  struck  me  par- 
ticularly is  the  abandoning  of  the  many  complex  planting  instru- 
ments in  favor  of  that  simplest  of  all  tools,  the  mattock.  No 
more  jamming  of  the  seedling  into  the  earth  with  crumpled, 
often  injured  root  system,  but  a  'natural,'  normal  planting  by 
hand  in  a  mattock-made  hole. 

"Finally  I  must  mention  the  tendency  away  from  large  cut- 
ting areas  with  their  attendant  increased  dangers  of  fire,  drought, 
insects,  fungi,  wind,  etc.,  towards  smaller  cutting  areas  and  more 
of  them :  more  points  of  attack  as  initial  points  in  a  well-planned 
cutting  series  progressing  against  the  prevailing  wind  direction." 

Recknagel  is  an  Episcopalian,  and  in  politics  is  a  Republican. 
He  was  at  one  time  a  member  of  Company  C,  First  Regiment 
of  Arizona  Militia.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Society  of  American

planted  forest  trees.  He  writes:  "Immediately  upon  graduation 
from  the  School  I  entered  the  Forest  Service  as  forest  assistant 
in  management  and  started  west  with  my  assistant  chief,  stop- 
ping off  at  the  Medicine  Bow  Forest,  Wyoming.  In  California 
we  visited  the  Diamond  Mountain  and  Plumas  forests,  attended 
the  Irrigation  Congress  at  Sacramento,  and  visited  the  Shasta 
Forest.  I  was  then  stationed  on  the  Diamond  Mountain  from 
September,  1907,  to  April,  1908,  where  I  was  engaged  in  the 
administration  of  two  large  timber  sales,  marking  western  yellow 
pine  for  cutting,  and  scaling  logs.  I  also  surveyed  ranger  stations 
and  claims  and,  after  the  snow  came,  drew  maps  in  the  super- 
visor's office.  In  April,  1908,  I  was  called  into  the  Washington 
office,  where  during  a  long  hot  summer  I  became  thoroughly 
imbued  with  the  timber  sale  policy  and  procedure  of  the  Forest 
Service.  At  the  time  of  the  redistricting  in  December,  1908,  I 
was  promoted  and  assigned  to  the  district  office  at  Portland, 
Ore.,  as  assistant  chief  of  silviculture.  During  the  summer  of 
1909  I  inspected  the  Snoqualmie  National  Forest,  Washington, 
covering  a  large  area  of  forested  mountains  in  the  Cascades  east 
of  Seattle.  In  thirty  days  I  traveled  on  foot  340  miles,  visiting 
all  of  the  operations  on  the  forest  and  often  alone,  but  more

often  with  a  ranger,  slept  out  under  a  giant  hemlock  or  huge 
Douglas  fir  overnigjht  and  lived  for  the  most  part  on  trout  and 
wild  blackberries.  In  October,  1909,  I  went  to  Los  Angeles 
with  my  mother  and  was  best  man  at  the  wedding  of  my 
brother  Henry.  In  December  of  the  same  year  I  estimated

In  the  spring  of  1910  I  inspected  timber  sales  and  seed  sowing 
operations  on  the  Oregon  National  Forest  near  Mt.  Hood. 

"In  May,  1910,  I  went  east  to  New  Haven,  Conn.,  where  I 
was  married  on  June  11.  On  the  honeymoon  trip  west  we 
stopped  off  at  Salem,  Ohio,  and  Cashmere,  Wash.,  visiting 
relatives,  before  returning  to  Portland.  During  August,  1910, 
while  the  forest  fires  were  at  their  worst,  visited  most  of  the 
National  forests  in  Washington  in  a  seed  collecting  campaign. 
In  the  fall  of  the  same  year  inspected  seed  sowing  operations 
on  the  Olympic,  Columbia,  and  Oregon  forests.  In  February, 
191 1,  lectured  on  timber  sales  at  the  Ranger  School  of  the

"During  September,  191 1,  made  the  circuit  of  the  Island  of 
Hawaii  on  an  official  automobile  trip  with  the  Governor  and 
Attorney  General  of  the  Territory  and  on  the  way  back  to 
Honolulu  stopped  off  for  some  goat  hunting  on  the  almost 
uninhabited  desert  island  of  Kahoolawe.  As  president  of  the 
Board  of  Agriculture  and  Forestry,  began  a  campaign  for  the 
control  of  a  serious  infestation  of  the  Mediterranean  fruit  fly 
and  was  instrumental  in  passing  a  dog  quarantine  regulation 
to  prevent  rabies  from  getting  to  the  Islands.

Aberdeen,  Wash. 

Residence,  304  West  Third  Street,  Aberdeen,  Wash. 

Clyde  Sayers  Martin  was  born  September  19,  1884,  in  Waynesburg, 
Pa.,  the  son  of  Charles  Alexander  Martin,  one  of  the  first  teachers  in 
the  Calcutta  Boys  School,  India,  and  Florence  Adelaide  (Sayers)  Martin. 
He  is  of  Scotch-English  ancestry.  He  has  one  brother,  Edwin  Ezra 
Martin. 

He  received  the  degree  of  B.S.  in  1905  from  De  Pauw  University, 
where  he  was  a  member  of  Beta  Theta  Pi. 

He  was  married  June  30,  1909,  in  Rushville,  111.,  to  Miss  Florence 
Alexander  Roach  of  Rushville,  daughter  of  Herschel  B.  Roach  and 
Helen  (Chadsey)  Roach.  They  have  one  son,  Charles  Alexander 
Martin,  born  May  9,  1910,  in  Aberdeen,  Wash. 

From  1907  to  1912  Martin  was  with  the  Weyerhaeuser  Timber 
Company,  where  he  acted  as  fire  warden,  inspector,  compass- 
man,  timekeeper,  logging  engineer,  trespass  man  and  topog- 
rapher. Since  July  10,  1912,  he  has  held  the  position  of  logging 
engineer  with  the  Saginaw  Timber  Company. 

He  writes :  "My  work  here  has  grown  entirely  apart  from 
forestry  as  a  profession  in  itself.  It  is  rather  logging  engineer- 
ing in  its  broader  sense;  going  on  the  theory  that  after  all  is 
said  and  done  logging  is  a  problem  of  transportation  primarily. 
In  this  country  of  large  timber  our  operations  have  developed 


GRADUATES  CLASS  OF  1907 165 

on  such  a  large  scale  that  the  larger  companies  have  found 
pressing  need  for  a  systematization  of  methods  and  accounting. 
A  technically  trained  man  working  from  a  basis  of  thorough 
understanding  of  present  methods  and  conditions  is  preeminently 
the  man  for  this  work.  It  takes  years  of  hard  preparatory  work 
under  actual  logging  conditions  to  fit  a  man  for  such  a  position, 
but  the  future  promises  great  things  for  the  man  who  will 
persevere  until  he  is  a  recognized  authority  on  scientific  logging. 
And  it  is  the  forester  working  from  the  inside,  with  a  full 
knowledge  of  actual  conditions  who  can  best  say  to  what  extent 
forestry  may  be  practiced  by  the  logger.  Briefly,  these  are  the 
lines  upon  which  I  am  working  and  by  which  I  hope  to  show 
that  there  is  a  field  for  the  technical  man  in  private  work." 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Methodist  church  and  in  politics  is  a 
Progressive  Republican.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Concatenated

Home  address,  4   Thurston  Street,   Winter  Hill   Station,  Boston,  Mass. 

Louis  Sutliffe  Murphy  was  born  August  10,  1876,  in  Boston,  Mass., 
the  son  of  Joseph  Henry  Murphy  and  EHzabeth  Marion  (Atkins) 
Murphy.  He  is  the  grandson  on  his  father's  side  of  Michael  Thomas 
Murphy,  born  in  Ireland  in  1797,  and  Eleanor  Jane  (O'Neal)  Murphy, 
born  in  Canterbury,  England,  in  1806,  who  were  married  in  Halifax, 
N.  S.,  Canada,  in  1831.  His  mother's  foster  parents  were  Sophronia 
Elizabeth  Atkins  and  Caleb  Upham  Atkins. 

He  was  prepared  at  the  Forster  Grammar  School,  Somerville,  Mass., 
and  at  the  Boston  English  High  School  and  from  July,  1895,  to  Sep- 
tember, 1897,  was  a  clerk  in  the  insurance  office  of  O'Brion  &  Russell, 
Boston.  In  1901  he  received  the  degree  of  B.S.  from  Tufts  College, 
where  he  was  a  member  of  Delta  Tan  Delta.  From  1901  to  1905  he  was 
employed  as  chemist  in  the  North  Packing  &  Provision  Company  of 
Somerville,  Mass. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Murphy  has  been  a  forest  examiner  in  the  United  States 
Forest  Service  since  January,  1910.  He  was  forest  assistant 
from  July,  1907,  to  January,  1910.  From  November,  191 1,  to 
May,  1912,  he  was  in  Porto  Rico  studying  its  forest  problems 
and  formulating  a  forest  policy  for  the  Island  as  a  whole  and 
for  Luquillo  National  Forest. 


GRADUATES  CLASS  OF  1907 167 

He  writes:  "Porto  Rico  presents  unusual  interest  for  the 
forester  just  now,  for,  unless  all  signs  fail,  both  the  Forest 
Service  and  the  Government  of  Porto  Rico  will  soon  need  one 
or  more  trained  foresters  to  direct  the  forestry  operations  which 
each  seems  destined  to  institute  in  the  near  future.  Conditions 
in  Porto  Rico  are  ripe  for  the  practice  of  intensive  forestry 
from  the  start.  Formerly  well  timbered,  the  Island  is  now  only 
sparsely  wooded.  Not  only  have  its  inhabitants, — now  number- 
ing 1,116,000  or  325  persons  per  square  mile, — drawn  freely 
upon  this  resource  in  the  past,  and  even  destroyed  it  to  make 
way  for  agriculture  and  cattle  raising,  but  considerable  timber 
has  also  been  exported. 

"A  dense  population,  geographic  isolation,  short  hauling  dis- 
tances, a  productive  soil,  a  year  round  growing  season,  and  an 
abundant  native  tree  flora,  not  to  mention  exotics,  constitute 
the  materials  at  hand.  The  forest  fire  menace  is  negligible  and 
frosts  are  unknown,  although  excessive  precipitation,  the  trade- 
winds,  and  an  occasional  hurricane  will  have  to  be  given  con- 
sideration. The  production  of  cabinet  woods  for  export  will 
have  no  place  in  Porto  Rican  forestry,  since  local  consumption 
will  take  care  of  all  that  the  lands  available  for  forestry  will 
produce.  Wood  for  fuel  is  most  urgently  needed,  also  for  posts 
and  house  piHrig,  structural  materials  for  native  use,  and  for 
boxes  and  crates  for  the  shipment  abroad  of  the  fruit  and  other 
products  of  the  Island. 

"Altogether  the  working  out  of  a  successful  forest  policy  to 
meet  these  various  needs,  as  well  as  the  demands  for  a  protective 
cover  to  aid  in  the  control  of  erosion,  for  shade  along  roads 
and  in  cattle  pastures,  and  the  like,  holds  out  alluring  possibili- 
ties for  those  who  would  enter  a  pioneer  field." 

He  attends  the  Unitarian  church  and  in  politics  is  a  Repub- 
lican. From  December,  1902,  to  June,  1905,  he  served  as 
private  in  Troop  A  (National  Lancers),  ist  Battalion  Cavalry, 
Massachusetts  Volunteer  Militia.  At  Yale  he  received  an  elec-

Association  and  the  Society  of  American  Foresters,  is  a  Mason

Home  address,  522  West  150th  Street,  New  York  City 

Robert  Rosenbluth  was  born  February  28,  1887,  in  New  York  City, 
the  son  of  Selig  Rosenbluth,  superintendent  of  a  large  hospital,  and 
Anna  (Glantz)  Rosenbluth.  He  is  of  Russian  German  ancestry  on  both 
sides  of  the  family. 

In  1903  he  graduated  from  Philadelphia  High,  after  which  he  studied 
as  a  "special  in  agriculture"  at  Pennsylvania  State  College.  He  after- 
ward attended  the  Forest  Academy  at  Mount  Alto,  Pa. 

He  is  unmarried. 

Rosenbluth  was  employed  as  forest  assistant  in  the  United 
States  Forest  Service  in  1907  and  in  the  same  year  became  for- 
ester in  the  Bureau  of  Forestry  with  headquarters  in  the  Philip- 
pine Islands.  In  1910-11  he  was  forest  assistant  in  the  Service 
and  in  191 1- 12  was  state  forester  for  the  Conservation  Commis- 
sion of  New  York  State.  Since  July  8,  1912,  he  has  held  the 
position  of  director  of  forest  investigations  for  the  Conservation 
Commission  of  New  York  State. 

He  writes :  "Travel  since  leaving  Yale  has  embraced  prac- 
tically all  the  states  in  this  country;  Hawaii;  the  Philippine 
Islands ;  China  and  Japan.  Most  interesting  was  the  work  in 
the  Philippines,  not  only  in  exploration  of  new  countries  and 
under  conditions  entirely  different  from  those  at  home,  but  in 
the  scientific  and   practical   value   of   the   results.      There   was 


GRADUATES  CLASS  OF  1907 171 

enough  excitement  incidental  to  these  explorations  to  satisfy 
one  for  the  time.  In  China  and  Japan  I  got  an  insight  into 
these  great  civilizations  and  the  currents  of  interest.  Especially- 
interesting  was  an  extended  trip  in  those  parts  of  China  where 
the  revolution  was  at  its  height  but  a  short  time  later.  In 
District  4,  I  did  extensive  work  along  the  Grand  Canyon  of  the 
Colorado  and  also  in  the  desert  regions  of  Nevada.  Since  then, 
have  been  on  the  intensive  problems  of  New  York  State." 

Concerning  politics,  Rosenbluth  writes :  "Am  a  Democrat — 
progressive,  with  strong  leanings  toward  Socialism ;  believe, 
however,  that  the  Democratic  party  is  a  more  efficient  means 
towards  that  end  than  is  the  present  Socialist  party."  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

He  has  written:  Forestry  for  China,  Nat.  Rev.,  Shanghai; 
Forestry  for  farm  and  county  estates.  Bull.  Conservation  Com. 
He  is  preparing  an  article  on  Lumber  trade  of  the  Chinese 
Empire,  to  be  printed  in  the  Forestry  Quarterly.

He  is  unmarried. 


GRADUATES  CLASS  OF  1907  173 

Wilber  was  employed  with  the  William  M.  Ritter  Lumber 
Company  of  West  Virginia  from  June,  1907,  to  January,  1908, 
when  he  became  forest  assistant  in  District  4  of  the  United 
States  Forest  Service.  Since  July,  1910,  he  has  held  the  position 
of  New  Jersey  state  fire  warden  for  the  New  Jersey  Forest 
Commission. 

He  writes :  "Nearly  two  million  acres  of  forest,  largely  within 
reach  of  densely  populated  centers,  traversed  by  an  unusual 
mileage  of  good  roads,  criss-crossed  by  a  thousand  miles  of  rail- 
road, and  in  large  part  without  the  telephone,  present  in  New 
Jersey  a  field  of  work  in  forest  protection  in  which  a  strong 
foundation  has  been  laid,  but  which  still  offers  a  wide  scope 
for  work  on  the  superstructure. 

"Control  of  this  situation  now  rests  on  a  state  fire  warden 
with  four  helpers,  275  local  men  under  a  township  warden 
system,  and  a  small  corps  of  fire  lookouts  and  patrolmen. 
Though  it  has  its  weaknesses,  experience  has  proved  that  the 
local  system  can  eventually  be  relied  on.  The  public  understands 
the  fight  on  fire  because  it  sees  results  and  the  local  effort  pro- 
ducing them.  The  short  step  from  forest  protection  to  forest 
development  is  taken  by  yearly  increasing  numbers.  An  annual 
retainer  of  $10  to  $20  to  the  wardens,  with  reasonable  but  not 
attractive  pay  to  them  and  all  fighters  at  a  fire,  elicits  creditable 
activity  and  ready  response  whenever  need  arises.  A  strict 
requirement  of  permits  for  all  brush  burning  throughout  the 
year  but  latitude  in  handling  individual  situations  by  special 
annual  permits  has  engendered  universal  caution  without  causing 
excessive  inconvenience.  Rigid  imposition  of  some  penalty  for 
every  violation  of  the  law,  but  the  possibility  of  a  reasonable 
adjustment  of  its  severity  to  the  specific  case,  have  made 
supporters  instead  of  enemies  of  most  offenders. 

"High  efiiciency  comes  slowly,  but  the  fires  are  growing 
smaller  and  their  aggregate  area  less.  Carelessness  is  giving 
way  to  caution.  Offenders  punished  now  number  hundreds 
yearly.  The  woodlands,  so  repeatedly  burned  heretofore  and 
long  rated  of  little  value,  are  showing  the  effect  of  fire  control, 
for  forests  are  spontaneous  throughout  the  state  and  their  recu- 
perative powers  prodigious.  New  Jersey,  therefore,  stands 
committed  to  a  policy  of  establishing  forest  values,  existent  and 
potential,  by  guaranteed  protection  from  fire."

He  writes :  "As  a  forest  assistant  I  was  one  of  the  second 
batch  to  be  sent  to  the  National  forests.  I  was  first  assigned  to 
the  Old  Henry's  Lake  in  Idaho.  I  was  there  principally  con- 
cerned with  timber  sale  work  and  secured  some  figures  on  the 
workings  of  the  log  scale  in  use  in  the  Service  which  I  am  told 
has  been  of  much  value.  The  following  summer  I  spent  in  the 
Washington  office  of  the  Service  as  district  forester.  Was 
shortly  afterward  sent  to  the  Leadville  National  Forest  in  Colo- 
rado, where  I  remained  about  a  year  and  a  half  doing  principally 
administrative  work.  In  the  spring  of  1909  I  was  transferred 
to  the  Targhee  as  deputy  supervisor,  work  altogether  adminis- 
trative, and  that  fall  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  Pocatello 
Forest,  where  I  have  been  since.  My  principal  interest  from  a 
professional  standpoint  is  in  forestation  problems.  Since  I  have 
been  on  this  forest  I  have  had  a  chance  to  engage  in  that  line 
on  an  extensive  scale  with  some  degree  of  success,  but  with 
results  still  mainly  undetermined."

MacMillan  is  chief  of  the  Forest  Branch  of  British  Columbia,

reserves  and  assistant  director  of  forestry  from  191 1  to  July 
15,  1912,  when  he  received  his  present  appointment. 

He  writes :  "I  have  recently  left  the  service  of  the  Dominion 
Forestry  Branch,  and  am  at  present  chief  forester  of  the  Pro- 
vincial Forest  Branch,  recently  established  to  administer  the 
public  forest  lands  of  the  province  of  British  Columbia. 

"British  Columbia  covers  about  350,000  square  miles,  and  is 
very  similar  in  character  to  Washington,  Oregon  and  Idaho. 
The  timber  in  the  southern  portion  of  the  Province  is  similar 
to  that  north  of  the  45th  parallel  of  latitude,  and  west  of  the 
115th  parallel  of  longitude  in  the  United  States,  with  the  dif- 
ference that  the  valleys  in  British  Columbia  are  narrower,  and 


i9f YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

the  mountains  are  steeper  and  higher,  and  there  is  a  smaller 
proportion  of  very  heavy  timber.  In  the  northern  portion  of 
British  Columbia  the  timber  consists  chiefly  of  spruce  and  large 
pine,  and  does  not  extend  far  from  the  rivers  and  lakes. 

"The  merchantable  area  of  the  Province  has  been  estimated 
at  from  50  to  60  million  acres. 

"The  Government  has  pursued  the  policy  of  refusing  to  part 
with  the  title  of  timber  land.  Only  about  one  million  acres 
of  timber  land  have  been  granted  in  fee  simple  to  private  parties. 
About  nine  million  acres  of  timber  land  have  been  leased  to 
private  individuals.  The  remainder  of  the  forest  land,  consist- 
ing chiefly  of  timber  at  present  considered  inaccessible,  and  all 
burned-over  land  covered  with  reproduction  is  still  in  the  hands 
of  the  Crown. 

"The  present  revenue  of  the  Province  from  timber  leases  and 
from  the  royalty  of  50  cents  per  thousand  charged  on  all  timber 
cut  amounts  to  $2,600,000  per  year.  This  revenue  will  be  largely 
increased  as  the  development  proceeds.  The  indications  are  now 
that  there  will  be  a  rapid  advance  in  the  next  few  years. 

"The  new  Forest  Branch  has  been  formed  under  the  guidance 
of  Mr.  Pinchot  and  Mr.  Price,  to  administer  the  timber  lands 
and  to  develop  the  country  by  a  wise  forestry  policy  for  the 
Province.  The  Forest  Branch  is  very  young.  There  are  at 
present  about  twenty  foresters,  but  the  indications  are  that  the 
staff  will  need  to  be  very  largely  increased  during  the  next  two 
or  three  years.  In  order  that  the  rangers  and  foresters  may  be 
secured  it  is  the  intention  of  the  Government  to  establish  a 
forestry  school  in  connection  with  the  new  provincial  university." 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  church.  In  1910  he  was

forest  problems  in  all  the  important  foreign  countries  where 
forestry  is  practiced.  The  trip  was  interesting,  not  to  say 
exciting  in  spots,  particularly  the  four  months  in  India,  where 
I  tried  conclusions  with  a  wild  buffalo  and  a  tiger,  successfully 
in  the  case  of  the  latter.  On  my  return  to  the  United  States, 
July  I,  1909,  I  entered  the  United  States  Forest  Service  and 
was  sent  to  District  3,  the  Southwest  headquarters,  Albu-

He  writes:  "On  entering  the  Forest  Service,  July  i,  1908, 
I  was  assigned  to  the  Section  of  Silvics  and  after  six  weeks  in 
Washington  I  was  sent  to  Oregon  to  make  a  study  of  'the 
encroachment  of  Lodgepole  pine  on  western  yellow  pine  on  the 
east  slope  of  the  Cascades  in  Oregon.'  Upon  the  completion  of 
this  study,  December  i,  1908,  I  was  assigned  to  the  Section 
of  Silvics  as  the  chief  in  the  newly  established  district  office 
of  the  Forest  Service  in  Portland,  Ore.  This  position  I  have 
since  held.  My  work  has  consisted  in  making  a  large  number 
of  silvical  studies  in  the  National  Forests  of  this  region  and  of 
field  work  in  connection  with  timber  sales  and  reconnaissance. 
A  little  over  half  my  time  has  been  spent  in  Portland  and  the 
balance  in  the  field  in  various  parts  of  Oregon  and  Washington."

Minnesota. 

He  writes:  "The  first  organized  attempt  to  carry  on  forestry 
work  in  Minnesota  was  authorized  by  the  passage  of  the  191 1 
Forest  Law.  A  few  months  later  I  undertook  to  hold  down  the 
job  of  assistant  state  forester.     In  this  position  I  have  had  a 


YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 


try  at  nearly  every  phase  of  forestry  work  that  one  could 
imagine. 

"Fire  protection  was  of  course  the  first  work.  At  the  outset 
we  assumed  that  the  majority  of  fires  could  be  prevented  simply 
by  having  the  right  kind  of  men  distributed  throughout  the 
forest  district,  to  remind  people  of  the  dangers  of  fire  and  also 
point  out  situations  where  dangerous  fires  are  liable  to  occur. 
This  naturally  led  us  to  the  question  of  handling  fires  which 
originate  from  railroad  rights-of-way  and  to  the  disposal  of 
slash  following  logging  operations. 

"The  railroads  are  now  working  in  complete  harmony  with 
this  department,  not  only  to  prevent  fires  being  started  from 
their  locomotives,  but  also  to  extinguish  any  which  may  start 
near  the  rights-of-way.  They  now  realize  that  it  is  money  well 
spent  to  prevent  fires  on  their  rights-of-way,  and  also — what 
is  of  more  importance  to  us — that  the  care  of  railroad  fires  rests 
with  the  companies  themselves. 

"Our  district  rangers  have  been  selected  with  the  greatest 
care,  and  it  is  on  them  we  depend  for  working  out  the  details 
of  slash  disposal  on  practically  every  logging  job  or  woods 
operation  in  the  state.  We  have  of  course  made  it  clear  to  the 
rangers  what  are  the  objects  of  slash  disposal,  but  it  is  up  to 
them  to  decide  on  the  methods  which  will  fulfill  these  objects. 
Under  certain  conditions  the  slash  must  be  disposed  of  as  log- 
ging proceeds;  under  others  it  must  be  burned  in  the  early 
spring;  or  it  may  be  sufficient  simply  to  dispose  of  the  slashings 
for  a  specified  distance  on  either  side  of  all  logging  roads  and 
on  the  boundaries  of  the  logged-over  tract. 

"We  have  divided  the  forested  area  of  the  state  into  fourteen 
large  districts,  with  a  ranger  in  charge  of  each.  Under  each 
ranger  there  are  patrolmen,  the  number  of  whom  varies  with 
the  necessity  of  patroling  against  the  spread  of  fires.  Aside 
from  this  force,  each  railroad  company  provides  patrolmen 
sufficient  to  protect  their  rights-of-way.  The  lumber  and  mining 
companies  provide  patrolmen  of  their  own  accord  or  when 
requested  to  do  so.  A  number  of  the  townships  have  also  levied 
a  special  tax,  to  pay  for  a  township  patrolman  and  provide  a 
fire  fighting  fund.  Telephones,  trails,  cabins  and  lookout  towers 
have  been  constructed  to  aid  in  the  fire  protection  work.

"The  opportunities  for  forestry  work,  I  believe,  are  the  best 
in  this  state  of  any  east  of  the  Rockies.  A  great  quantity  of 
timber  is  still  uncut,  and  its  utilization  is  a  field  in  which  the 
forester  may  help.  At  present  only  a  small  area  of  land  is 
under  the  exclusive  management  of  this  department.  The  dis- 
posal of  three  and  one-half  millions  of  acres  of  state  school 
lands  is  provided  for  in  the  state  constitution,  but  since  a  great 
deal  of  this  land  is  suitable  only  for  growing  timber,  the  consti- 
tution will  eventually  be  changed  so  that  the  forest  land  can  be 
handled  as  such.  Aside  from  this  there  are  millions  of  acres 
of  privately  owned  land  which  must  in  time  come  back  to  the 
state  and  will  be  used  for  the  growth  of  timber.  We  are  gath- 
ering data  to  show  the  character  and  extent  of  all  such  non- 
agricultural  lands  and  when  we  have  gathered  sufficient  data 
the  matter  will  be  in  shape  for  legislation.  We  have  estimated 
the  amount  of  non-agricultural  land  in  the  state  which  should 
be  kept  growing  timber  continuously,  at  about  fifteen  million 
acres.  To  acquire  such  an  amount  of  land  and  put  it  under 
forest  management  looks  like  some  job  for  the  foresters."

Goodman  Lumber  Company,  Goodman,  Wis.  While  in  this 
position  he  was  first  postmaster  of  Goodman,  Wis.  "On  May 
8,  191 1,"  he  writes,  "left  home  for  Ogden,  Utah,  with  a  letter 
from  the  district  forester  appointing  me  forest  agent.  Upon  my 
arrival  at  McCall  was  informed  that  my  position  was  forest 
guard.  I  was  soon  made  temporary  forest  assistant  and  am  now 
forest  assistant.  June  24,  191 1,  sent  on  foot  by  Supervisor  J.  E. 
Rothery  to  Copenhaver  Ranger  Station  to  secure  Walter  Gackel's 
(ranger)  oath  of  office.  Distance  forty  miles  over  about  ten 
miles  of  crusted  snow  that  hid  the  trail  blazes  for  long  stretches 
on  the  summits.  Streams  were  all  full,  making  occasional 
long  detours  necessary  to  find  foot  logs.  Got  into  one  trap  line, 
mistaking  blazes  for  the  trail  blazes,  never  having  been  over  the 
route  before.  Left  McCall  at  9:30  a.  m.  on  the  24th  and  had 
oath  of  office  in  the  supervisor's  office  in  McCall  at  8  o'clock, 
June  25th. 

"Mixed  it  up  with  a  family  of  bears — an  old  she  and  two  cubs 
on  July  26,  19 1 2,  while  on  timber  reconnaissance.  Treed  the 
cubs  and  went  between  them  and  'the  Mrs.'  As  she  came  back 
shot  her  with  a  Luger  pistol  (.30  cal.)  and  then  got  one  of  the 
cubs." 

Concerning  his  politics,  Williams  writes :  "Not  identified  with 
any  party,  voting  for  the  man  whom  I  consider  best  qualified 
to  fill  the  office  for  which  he  is  candidate."

lowing year.  Through  the  influence  and  sincere  efforts  of  Mr.

the  Coconino  Forest  in  Arizona.  There  were  a  large  number 
of  timber  sales  on  the  Forest  at  that  time  and  my  work  was  all 
along  that  line.  After  spending  a  year  in  this  region  I  returned

D.  C,  July  I,  1908.  I  left  on  the  same  day  for  Thompson  Falls, 
Mont.,  and  joined  a  reconnaissance  party  on  the  Cabinet  National 
Forest.  Our  work  was  principally  along  the  line  of  timber  esti- 
mates, together  with  a  general  land  classification  of  odd  sections 
included  within  the  primary  limits  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Rail- 
road grant.  On  November  18,  1908,  I  was  assigned  to  the 
Coeur  d'Alene  National  Forest  as  forest  assistant.  On  July 
20,  1909,  was  transferred  to  the  Kootenai  National  Forest  and 
a  few  months  afterwards  was  appointed  as  deputy  forest  super- 
visor. During  March  of  191 1  I  was  again  transferred  to  the 
Missoula  National  Forest  as  acting  forest  supervisor,  with 
headquarters  at  Missoula,  Mont.  On  July  i,  1912,  received  an

A  year  later  he  was  transferred  to  the  Coeur  d'Alene  National 
Forest,  and  in  January,  191 3,  received  his  present  assignment. 
Early  in  191 1  he  wrote: 

"Since  the  career  of  mechanical  engineer  and  of  naval  architect 
had  ever  seemed,  throughout  my  college  course,  so  equally  entic- 
ing that  a  decision  between  them  was  exceedingly  difficult,  it  was 
perhaps  only  natural  that  after  graduation  I  should  have  clutched 
eagerly  the  birchen  rod  of  the  school  teacher.  For  two  years  I 
was  instructor  of  mathematics  and  physics  at  Williston  Seminary, 
Easthampton,  Mass.  Having  thus  given  myself  ample  time  for 
choosing  between  the  above-mentioned  careers,  I  promptly  entered 
the  Yale  Forest  School,  where  I  spent  another  two  years  in  trying 
not  to  remember  with  what  contempt  I  had,  as  an  undergraduate, 
looked  upon  all  members  of  the  graduate  departments  of  the  Uni- 
versity. Last  March  I  passed  through  the  ordeal  of  Civil  Service 
examinations  with  sufficient  success  to  be  ordered  westward,  in 
July.  Ever  since  I  have  been  contentedly  busy  on  the  Helena 
National  Forest,  a  very  scattered  area  of  some  nine  hundred 
thousand  acres,  lying  anywhere  from  one  to  forty  miles  from  the 
city  of  Helena,  Mont.  My  work  has  been  as  diverse  as  is  usual 
in  this  line  of  activity — including  timber-estimating,  land  classifi- 
cation, surveying,  mapping,  and  trying  to  remember  which  side 
of  a  horse  it  is  more  orthodox  to  attempt  to  ascend — but  the 
major  part  of  my  time  has  been  devoted  to  the  Boulder  Nursery, 
where  I  serve  as  chief  nursemaid  to  some  four  million  infant  pines 
and  firs." 

He  is  a  Republican — "probably  progressive."  He  is  a  member

He  is  unmarried. 

Coan  writes:  "Since  graduation  from  the  Yale  Forest  School 
in  June,  1910,  I  have  been  continuously  in  the  employ  of  the 
United  States  Forest  Service.  For  a  period  of  nearly  two  years 
I  was  assigned  to  work  on  the  Chelan  National  Forest.  This 
forest  adjoins  the  main  range  of  the  Cascade  Mountains  (in 
the  state  of  Washington)  and  has  a  very  rugged  topography  of 
which  I  became  fully  aware  before  completing  the  extensive 
reconnaissance  of  the  forest.  The  unique  feature  of  this  forest 
is  the  long  and  narrow  lake  included  within  its  boundaries,  which 
is  at  once  a  wonderful  piece  of  natural  scenery,  and  an  effective 
aid  to  travel  and  fire  protection.  My  work  on  this  forest  con- 
sisted almost  wholly  in  estimating  timber  and  in  managing  a 
timber  sale. 

"I  am  at  present  located  upon  the  Whitman  National  Forest 
(Oregon),  where  for  the  past  summer  (1912)  I  have  engaged 
in  intensive  reconnaissance.  This  work  consists  in  the  map- 
ping of  topography,  the  forest  types  timber  cover,  and  an  accu- 
rate  examination   and   classification   of   the   land   to   determine 


244  YALE  FOREST  SCHOOL 

its  value  for  agricultural  purposes.  In  addition,  the  value  of 
each  section  (the  work  thus  far  has  been  in  surveyed  country) 
is  determined  for  grazing  and  an  accurate  lo  per  cent,  estimate 
is  made  by  an  estimator  who  works  along  with  the  compass — 
or  map  man.  The  accuracy  of  mapping  is  dependent  to  a  very 
large  extent  on  skilled  use  of  the  pocket  compass  and  maintaining 
a  consistent  pace  for  all  varieties  of  topography."

reconnaissance  work  in  various  parts  of  District  4,  with  head- 
quarters at  Ogden,  Utah,  going  first  to  the  Kaibab  Forest,  located 
on  the  northern  border  of  the  Grand  Canyon,  the  only  scenery 
I  have  ever  seen  that  I  have  never  grown  tired  of,  as  there  always 
seemed  to  be  something  new  about  it. 

"Shortly  after  my  summer  there  I  spent  a  month  in  the  pleasant 
little  town  of  Ogden,  whence  I  was  sent  as  forest  assistant  to  the 
Sawtooth  Forest,  where  I  received  my  only  unpleasant  experience 
in  the  Service,  a  four  months'  furlough.  I  got  a  chance  to  take 
some  cattle  to  Seattle  and  so  went  there  and  spent  a  very  rainy 
winter,  getting  some  surveying  and  drafting  to  do,  which  kept 
me  busy  part  of  the  time.  For  the  last  year  I  have  done  a 
variety  of  things,  from  counting  sheep  to  surveying  telephone 
lines,  to  say  nothing  of  a  one  man  reconnaissance,  when  I  was 
my  own  cook,  horse  wrangler,  packer  and  did  a  full  day's  work 
every  day  besides."
